1/2: khwaabon

khwaabon par ikhtiyaar

na yaadon pe zor hai

kab zindagi guzaari hai

apne hisaab mein

no control over dreams

no power over memories

when has life ever

transpired on my terms

2/2: khwaabon

khwaabon ki tarah aanaa

khushbu ki tarah jaana

mumkin hi nahi lagta

ai dost, tujhe paanaa

arriving like a dream, and

leaving with fragrance behind

it seems impossible, my friend,

to find someone like you
