aane wala hai koi mehman kya
ho gae sab marhale aasan kya

waqt ki raftar kaise tham gai
ho gaya hai har-nafas be-jaan kya

tutna jadna to hai ek silsila
ho rahe ho is qadar hairan kya

zindagi se rishta apna tod kar
ja rahe ho jab to ye saman kya

dhup ke sae mein chup sadhe hue
kar rahe ho amn ka elan kya

khwahishon ke sab parinde ud gae
ho gai hai zindagi viran kya

sochta rahta hun 'adil' raat-din
main hi kya hun aur meri pahchan kya
