abr kya ghir ghir ke aaya khul gaya
bas sabaat-e-bahr-e-duniya khul gaya

raaz-e-dil kitna chhupaya khul gaya
haal is daulat-sara ka khul gaya

husn-e-ariz aarzi tha khul gaya
khat ke aate hi lifafa khul gaya

aankh se rumal sarka baad-e-marg
chashm-e-tar ka aaj parda khul gaya

tum jo bole ho gaya sabit dahan
baaton hi baaton mein uqda khul gaya

kat gaya sar hal hui mushkil meri
nakhun-e-khanjar se uqda khul gaya

be-zabani baaten sunwane lagi
galiyon par munh tumhaara khul gaya

tha qalam-band apni aazadi ka haal
khat ko jab us ne lapeta khul gaya

khat pe khat lae jo murgh-e-nama-bar
bole in murghon ka darba khul gaya
