tum mile to hui ajib si baat
dost karne lage raqib si baat

nind aae to makhmali ehsas
warna bistar mein hai salib si baat

falsafa zindagi ka mat puchho
main kahunga badi ajib si baat

tum yahan dost se mukhatab ho
mat karo shair-o-adib si baat

puchh mat un ke samne 'baadal'
mere dil mein hai kya ajib si baat
