lafz likhta hun maani khol kar
baat mein puri kahani khol kar

ruh ke chhaale ubhar aate hain phir
dekhta hun jab jawani khol kar

ek ke andar hazaron thin rakhi
ek din dekha kahani khol kar

lag gaya hathon mein tab be-rang khun
main ne jab dekha tha pani khol kar

khamushi apni bacha leta hun yun
bolta hun be-zabani khol kar
