rah-e-khizan mein talash-e-bahaar karte rahe
wo ek tarfa sahi tum se pyar karte rahe

hai kya tamasha udhar ranjishen hi badhti rahin
talluqat hamin ustuwar karte rahe

guzar gai jo ghadi laut kar na aai kabhi
talash-e-sham-o-sahar bar bar karte rahe

tumhaari chah mein jitne bhi zakhm hum ko mile
mohabbaton mein hum un ka shumar karte rahe

teri ana pe hamein ikhtiyar hi kab tha
tamam umr tera intizar karte rahe

'adil' log gharon ko sajae baithe hain
farogh-e-husn faqat barg-o-bar karte rahe
