pedon se baat-chit zara kar rahe hain hum
nadida doston ka pata kar rahe hain hum

dil se guzar raha hai koi matami julus
aur is ke raste ko khula kar rahe hain hum

ek aise shahr mein hain jahan kuchh nahin bacha
lekin ek aise shahr mein kya kar rahe hain hum

palken jhapak jhapak ke udate hain nind ko
soe huon ka qarz ada kar rahe hain hum

kab se khade hue hain kisi ghar ke samne
kab se ek aur ghar ka pata kar rahe hain hum

ab tak koi bhi tir taraazu nahin hua
tabdil apne dil ki jagah kar rahe hain hum

hathon ke irtiash mein baad-e-murad hai
chalti hain kashtiyan ki dua kar rahe hain hum

wapas palat rahe hain azal ki talash mein
mansukh aap apna likha kar rahe hain hum

'adil' saje hue hain sabhi khwab khwan par
aur intizar-e-khalq-e-khuda kar rahe hain hum
