mere kamre mein jo bikhri hui hai
ye virani kisi ki di hui hai

mujhe kal khwab mein sahra dikha tha
badan se khak si lipti hui hai

yaqinan hai usi ke tan ki khushbu
meri ghazlon mein jo mahki hui hai

adab wale adab se khelte hain
zaban-e-'mir' bhi kadwi hui hai

wo sachchai jise tum dhundhte ho
salib-o-dar par latki hui hai

kise kahte hain ghurbat jaanta hun
mere dalan mein kheli hui hai

sharafat ab haya iman-dari
kahan dhundhun kahan rakkhi hui hai

tu jis ki yaad mein duba hai 'adil'
wo kis ki soch mein khoi hui hai
