mohabbat nae rang dikhla rahi hai
ghamon se khushi ki mahak aa rahi hai

mohabbat unhen ab meri bha rahi hai
ki achchhe dinon ki khabar aa rahi hai

mohabbat hi ban kar ba-rang-e-‘ibaadat
qarib-e-khuda hum ko pahuncha rahi hai

mohabbat zarurat hai duniya ki lekin
wo meri mohabbat ko thukra rahi hai

koi daur ho dosto sari duniya
hamari wafa se shanasa rahi hai

rah-e-‘ashiqi mein badi muddaton tak
meri zindagi bhi tamasha rahi hai

hamein kah diya bewafa kaise tum ne
ye duniya hamari qasam kha rahi hai

mariz-e-mohabbat hai kis ke hawale
na tum aa rahe ho na maut aa rahi hai

meri khasta haalat pe sau bar afsos
'adib' aap ko bhi hansi aa rahi hai
