jo azal hi se muqaffal hai wo ghar kholega
aaj wo mere liye satwan dar kholega

dhundhta hai jo bahar-gam nai rah yahan
wo musafir bhi kabhi rakht-e-safar kholega

sabz patton ki qaba kis ne hai chhini us se
ik-na-ik roz ye uqda to shajar kholega

us ki qismat pe sabhi rashk to karte hain magar
kitne pani mein sadaf hai ye guhar kholega

ek muddat se jo baitha hai simat kar khud mein
wo parinda bhi hawa dekh ke par kholega

mom ki tarah pighal jaenge patthar kitne
ek fankar jahan dast-e-hunar kholega

raaz-e-hasti bhi kisi roz yahan par 'naushad'
dekhna mujh sa koi khak-basar kholega
