Poetry of Ahmed Faraz
Khawab Marte Nahi
Khawab marte nahi
Khawab dil ha, na ankhen na saasen ke jo
Reza reza huwe to bikhar jayen ge
Jisam ki mot se ye bi mar jayen ge
Khawab marte nahi
Khawab to roshni hain, nawa hain, hawa hain
Jo kaley paharon se ruktey nahi
Zulm ki dozakhon se bi phaktey nahi
Roshni or nawa or hawa ke ilam
Maqtlon ma pohanch kar bi jhuktey nahi
Khawab to harf hain
Khawab to noor hain
Khawab saqrat hain
Khawab mansoor hain
(Poetry of Ahmed Faraz)
