chhan ke aati hai jo ye raushni darwaze se
kya mujhe dekh raha hai koi darwaze se

ghar ki takhti se mila aaj mujhe apna pata
apne hone ki gawahi mili darwaze se

main ne dahliz se jaane ki ijazat le li
phir meri baat na tai ho saki darwaze se

ek rauzan mein padi aankh se khulne lage hain
ek diwar ke andar kai darwaze se

main ne is khwab ko andar kahin mismar kiya
meri aawaz na bahar gai darwaze se

raat bhar siskiyan leta hai koi shakhs yahan
kabhi diwar se lag kar kabhi darwaze se

khali kamra mera kis chap se bhar jata hai
aata jata hi nahin jab koi darwaze se

ek khushbu ne qadam bhul ke bahar rakkha
phir gali aankh milane lagi darwaze se

roz ek shahr-e-pur-asrar mein kho jata hun
wahi galiyan wahi raste wahi darwaze se

tu ne mahtab nikalte hue dekha hai kabhi
aur mahtab bhi aise kisi darwaze se
