Suppose that $M$ is a non-compact Riemann surface obtained by removing several points from a compact one. It is known that the holomorphic cotangent bundle of $M$ is trivial. Therefore there exists a holomorphic 1-form $\omega$ that does not have any zeroes on $M$. I am interested to know whether we can find an exact 1-form $\omega=df$, where $f$ is some holomorphic function on $M$, such that $\omega$ does not have zeroes on $M$.

Such $f$ exists on every open Riemann surface:
