tilism-e-ishq tha sab us ka sath hone tak
khayal-e-dard na aaya najat hone tak

mila tha hijr ke raste mein subh ki manind
bichhad gaya tha musafir se raat hone tak

ajib rang ye basti hai us ki nagri bhi
har ek nahr ko dekha furaat hone tak

wo is kamal se khela tha ishq ki bazi
main apni fath samajhta tha mat hone tak

hai istiara ghazal us se baat karne ka
yahi wasila hai ab us se baat hone tak

main us ko bhulna chahun to kya karun 'adil'
jo mujh mein zinda hai khud meri zat hone tak
