de do na ek bar mera sath jaan-e-man
aati nahin hai nind mujhe raat jaan-e-man

main ne tumhaari galiyan hans ke qubul ki
jaana nahin tha mujh ko hawalat jaan-e-man

main ne bhi un se zar na liya soch kar yahi
leta nahin main aaj bhi khairaat jaan-e-man

main ne kiya hai apne ko khud ek aaina
lagne lagi hai zindagi saughat jaan-e-man

ruswaiyon ke dar se raha tum se dur main
samjhi nahin kisi ne meri baat jaan-e-man

man bap ne 'adarsh' ko ye fan bhi sikhaya
karta nahin hun aaj bhi main ghat jaan-e-man
