jhankte log khule darwaze
chand ka shahr bane darwaze

kis ki aahat ka fusun tari hai
mahw hain aaj bade darwaze

bol ke den na kabhi diwaren
sar patakhte hi rahe darwaze

log mahfuz hue kamron mein
barf ki zad mein rahe darwaze

kabhi suraj ki kabhi zulmat ki
mar sahte hi rahe darwaze

raat-bhar chandni takrai magar
subh hote hi khule darwaze

dekh wo 'sham' ki aahat ubhri
dekh wo band hue darwaze
