bas har ek raat yahi jurm kiya hai main ne
la ke khwabon mein tujhe dekh liya hai main ne

har baras zist ka lamha sa laga hai lekin
baz lamhon mein to sadiyon ko jiya hai main ne

chhute jate hain sabhi ahal-e-kharabaat-e-junun
kya ajab aql se sauda ye kiya hai main ne

saghar-e-marg ko suqraat ne pi kar ye kaha
zindagi tere liye zahr piya hai main ne

apne har khwab ki tabir ko pane ke liye
ek samundar tha jise par kiya hai main ne

tum nahin jaante maqtal se darane walo
jaan ka nazrana kai bar diya hai main ne

kaise mumkin hai ki main tujh se teri baat karun
tere kahne pe to honton ko siya hai main ne

mai-kashi mein bhi kai daur guzare 'adil'
kabhi chullu kabhi saghar se piya hai main ne
