KHwab mazdur hai

KHwab mazdur hai
raat din sar pe bhaari taghaari liye

sans ki
bans ki

hanpti-kanpti siDhiyon par
utarta hai

chaDhta hai
ru-posh meamar ke hukm par

ek la-shakl naqshe pe uThti hui
upar uThti hui

gol diwar ke
KHisht-dar-KHisht chakkar mein mahsur hai

KHwab mazdur hai!
ek mashaqqat-zada aadmi ki tarah

main haqiqat ki duniya mein
ya KHwab mein

roz mamul ke kaam karta hun
kuchh der aaram karta hun

kanTon bhari khaT mein
pyas ke jam pita hun

aur sozan-e-hijr se
apni udhDi hui tan ki poshak sita hun

jita hun
kaisi anokhi haqiqat hai

kaisa ajab KHwab hai
ek mashaqqat-zada aadmi ki tarah

apne hisse ki bajri uThane pe mamur hai
KHwab mazdur hai!!
