har gam pe hairat ka naya bab khula hai
tabir pareshan hai kya khwab khula hai

ojhal hue aankhon se to puchha na kisi ne
andaz-e-rukh-e-pursish-e-ahbab khula hai

hum log mohabbat ke rawadar na hote
takhir se hum par dil-e-betab khula hai

honton pe laga qufl-e-khamoshi nahin tuta
sunte hain yad-e-mausam-e-ijab khula hai

basti se guzarta hai to basti nahin rahti
kin aankhon se ye chashma-e-sailab khula hai

pahchan ke sine se lagaya use hum ne
qatil ki tarah chehra-e-girdab khula hai

lagta hai chhalak jaega ab jam-e-tamanna
is bar jo paimana-e-asab khula hai

jaisa bhi hai waqt ab na rukenge 'ali-yasir'
chalte hain ki darwaza-e-mahtab khula hai
