aisi tanhai ki ghar dasht lage
aisa sannata agar patta hile

aankh darwaze ki aahat pe ja ke ruk jae
kash aa jae koi

phir mohabbat ka safir
meri anjaan si chahat ka asir

wo jo aa jae to aangan mein sitare aa jaen
is makan mein bhi ki jis mein tanha

rah raha hun main kai sadiyon se
aane wale ke muqaddar ke tufail

meri manzil mera ghar mere kinare aa jaen
jab bhi is aalam-e-kam-hoshi mein

dastak-e-dil se aankh khul jae
ghar ki dahliz par thahar jae

dur ek saya sa nazar aae
dil ye phir bar bar samjhae

han abhi bas abhi aata hoga
meri jaanib bhi koi

sirf mohabbat ka safir
meri chahat ka asir

jab bhi aahat si koi hoti hai
aur phir khud ko 'adil'

dastak-e-dil ke udhar
tanha khada pata hun

aur mera aks
mere apne hi aaine mein

thahre hue pani mein
har subh mujh ko nazar aata hai

rose ye samjhata hai
meri dahliz pe koi bhi nahin

bas mein hun
ek anjaan si chahat ka safir

ek gumnam mohabbat ka faqir
