bahut suna tha ki khulta hai par nahin khulta
bahut sunā thā ki khultā hai par nahīñ khultā
ḳhudā ke vāste bande kā ghar nahīñ khultā
vo ek sher jo khultā hai saarī mahfil pe
vo jis pe khulnā hai us pe magar nahīñ khultā
hamāre qad ke mutābiq jise banāyā thā
vahī vo dar hai jo bālisht-bhar nahīñ khultā
bane hue haiñ ajā.eb-gharoñ kī zīnat ham
par apne vāste apnā hī dar nahīñ khultā
tumheñ pahuñchnā hai 'iqbāl' 'mīr' 'ġhālib' tak
magar vo rāsta shāyad idhar nahīñ khultā
kare kī minnateñ karte haiñ ek muddat se
magar nasīb meñ apne safar nahīñ khultā
savāl dastakeñ de ki hue fanā 'fānī'
jahāñ javāb hai bas vo hī dar nahīñ miltā
bahut suna tha ki khulta hai par nahin khulta
KHuda ke waste bande ka ghar nahin khulta
wo ek sher jo khulta hai sari mahfil pe
wo jis pe khulna hai us pe magar nahin khulta
hamare qad ke mutabiq jise banaya tha
wahi wo dar hai jo baalisht-bhar nahin khulta
bane hue hain ajaeb-gharon ki zinat hum
par apne waste apna hi dar nahin khulta
tumhein pahunchna hai 'iqbaal' 'mir' 'ghaalib' tak
magar wo rasta shayad idhar nahin khulta
kare ki minnaten karte hain ek muddat se
magar nasib mein apne safar nahin khulta
sawal dastaken de ki hue fana 'fani'
jahan jawab hai bas wo hi dar nahin milta
