kisi ko KHwab mein aksar pukarte hain hum
'ata' isi liye sote mein honT hilte hain

Ahmad Ata

aaj dekha hai use aisi mohabbat se 'ata'
wo yahi bhul gaya us ko kahin jaana tha

Ahmad Ata

---

---

hamari umr se baDh kar ye bojh Dala gaya
so hum baDon se buzurgon ki tarah milte hain

Ahmad Ata

---

---

hum ne awwal to kabhi us ko pukara hi nahin
aur pukara to pukara bhi sadaon ke baghai

Ahmad Ata

---

---

hum bahakte hue aate hain tere darwaze
tere darwaze bahakte hue aate hain hum

Ahmad Ata

---

---

hum aastan-e-KHuda-e-suKHan pe baiThe the
so kuchh saliqe se ab zindagi tabah karen

Ahmad Ata

---

---

hum aaj hanste hue kuchh alag dikhai diye
ba-waqt-e-girya hum aise the, sare jaise hain

Ahmad Ata

---

---

hanste hanste ho gaya barbaad main
KHush-dili aisi bhi hoti hai bhala

Ahmad Ata

---

---

agh-e-hawas mein kuchh nahin dil hai to KHushnuma hai dil
aag lagaegi talab hoga ye KHas tabah-kun
