har ek shai pe hai partaw-fagan bahaar ka rang
gulon ka husn juda hai alag hai khar ka rang

lahu mein jaise machalte hon barq-pare se
ye intizar ka aalam ye intizar ka rang

kuchh aaj dil ki kharabi guzar gai had se
uda uda sa hai har ek gham-gusar ka rang

kabhi to sun meri betabi-e-firaq ka haal
kabhi to dekh meri chashm-e-ashk-bar ka rang

tere karam se bhi niyyat na ishq ki badli
wahi hai fitrat-e-masum-o-sada-kar ka rang

bulao ahl-e-junun ko kisi bulandi se
bigad chala hai bahut bazm-e-rozgar ka rang

'adib' kawish-e-gham kaam kar gai shayad
ab un ke rukh se jhalakne laga hai pyar ka rang
