ye diyā ḳhuuñ se jalā phir bhī jalā hai to sahī
laakh rasman hī milā mujh se milā hai to sahī
an-kahī baat samajh lo to baḌī baat hai ye
merī ḳhāmosh navā.ī meñ sadā hai to sahī
Dagmagātā mujhe dekhe to sahārā de koī
ye jo laġhzish hai to laġhzish kā mazā hai to sahī
bhīgī āñkheñ ye batātī haiñ ki sun kar mirā haal
kuchh na kuchh tujh ko bhī ehsās huā hai to sahī
kaheñ maġhrūr ko badmast magar sach ye hai
inkisārī meñ bhī apnā hī nasha hai to sahī
zindagī bhar mirī hastī meñ rachā ho jaise
tujh ko dekhā nahīñ mahsūs kiyā hai to sahī
kāvish-e-zīst hai kyā apnī hī hastī kī talāsh
ḳhud ko pā lenā hī insāñ kā sila hai to sahī
hai jo āzurdagī us kī dam-e-ruḳhsat 'ādil'
tujh ko andāza-e-tajdīd-e-vafā hai to sahī
