be-mehri-e-wafa ne puchho na kya diya hai
aah-e-wida-e-shab ne sina jala diya hai

nala-kanan hain bulbul bhanwaron mein be-dili hai
ab ke wo bijliyon ne gulshan jala diya hai

bazi pe apne sar ki ek husn-e-be-badal se
hum ne mohabbaton ka nara laga diya hai

andhi mohabbaton ne har sahab-e-wafa ko
dariya dikha diya hai sahra dikha diya hai

phirte idhar udhar hain logo makan-ba-sar hain
muddat se chain apna hum ne ganwa diya hai

lahren uchhal padin hain ek naznin ne apne
pani mein panw rakh kar mahshar utha diya hai

jis ko bhi saunp dala 'adil' nizam dil ka
mushkil usi ne mera jina bana diya hai
