kis ne darwaza khatkhataya hai
ja ke dekhun to kaun aaya hai

kaun aaya hai mere dware par
raat aai kahan bichaare par

mere chhappar se tek kar kandha
kaun istada hai thaka-manda

meri kutiya mein aao susta lo
ye mera saghar-e-shikasta lo

meri chhagal se ghont pani piyo
ek nae azm ki jawani piyo

timtimate diye ki jhilmil mein
jot sulga lo ek nai dil mein

ye mere aansuon ki shabnam lo
panw ke aablon ki marham lo

ye mujhe iftikhar do baitho
sar se ga utar do baitho

mere zanu par apna sar rakh kar
taq par kahish-e-safar rakh kar

nind ki anjuman mein kho jao
manzilon ke sapan mein kho jao

khwab wadi-o-kohsar ke khwab
dasht-o-dariya-o-abshaar ke khwab

khwab andheri tawil rahon ke
kunj-e-sahra ki khema-gahon ke

jahan ek shama abhi farozan hai
jahan ek dil tapan hai sozan hai

tum lipat jao in khayalon se
aur main khelun tumhaare baalon se

subh jab nur ka fusun barse
suni pagdandiyon pe khun barse

bag thame hasin iradon ki
tum khabar lo phir apne jadon ki

jab talak zist ka safina bahe
ajnabi ajnabi ko yaad rahe

mujh ko ye apni yaad de jao
aao bhi kyun jhijhakte ho aao

tum kahan ho kahan jawab to do
o mere mehman jawab to do

tum ne darwaza khatkhataya tha
kis ki dastak thi kaun aaya tha

nim-shab qafile sitaron ke
tez harkare abr-paron ke

kis ne nindon ko meri toka tha
koi jhonka tha koi dhoka tha
