bebasi ki dhup hai ghamgin kya
phir raha hai dar-ba-dar miskin kya

hans raha hun bebasi ki dhup mein
ho rahi hai zauq ki taskin kya

aa rahi hain dastakon par dastaken
zindagi phir ho gai sangin kya

aankh hanste hanste kyun rone lagi
har khushi karti hai bas ghamgin kya

ashk 'adil' pi raha hun aaj-kal
ho gaya hai zaiqa namkin kya
