Sher on Khwab

Dream is not only that

which we have during our sleep; they also come to us when we are wide awake and we chase them feverishly. Here is a selection of verses that draw upon the experience of dream, their realisation, and how they represent human concerns. Read them and you will find the reflections of your own dreams here.

ab judai ke safar ko mere aasan karo

tum mujhe KHwab mein aa kar na pareshan karo
