khushi ko pane ka nuskha badal ke aae hain
hum apne dil ki tamanna badal ke aae hain

hamari khubiyan kaise unhen nazar aaen
ki wo nazar nahin chashma badal ke aae hain

riwayaton ko banate nahin hain husn-e-ghazal
ke hum ghazal ka maqala badal ke aae hain

jawaharaat ke dane hain tar sone ke
nae shikari hain pinjra badal ke aae hain

wo muflison ki thi basti isi liye shayad
khilaune wale bhi rasta badal ke aae hain

hawaen apne thikanon ko laut jaengi
hum apni khidki ka parda badal ke aae hain

'adib' farq nahin dost aur dushman mein
ki dost bhi to mukhauta badal ke aae hain
