raat ki zulf kahin ta-ba-kamar khul jae
hum pe bhi chand sitaron ki dagar khul jae

thak gai nind mere khwab ko dhote dhote
kya tajjub hai meri aankh agar khul jae

mera sarmaya mere paon ke chhaalon ki tapak
raste mein hi na sab zad-e-safar khul jae

aaj dariya nahin kuze mein samane wala
waqt hai mujh pe mera zoam-e-hunar khul jae

sab musafir hain nai rah ki sab ko hai talash
sab pe mumkin to nahin rah-e-digar khul jae

apni tanhai mein mahbus hun muddat se 'nadim'
tu agar sath ho diwar mein dar khul jae
