un ke qisse agar bayan hote
raaz sare tabhi ayan hote

tum ko aate hunar jo rahzan ke
bas tumhi mir-e-karwan hote

bair hum se sahi magar socho
hum na hote to tum kahan hote

zindagi wo jagah dikha de ab
tujh ko pate to hum jahan hote

un ki mahfil mein dil nahin lagta
jab wo auron mein shadman hote

ye mukammal agar jahan hota
phir khalaon mein kyun jahan hote

soch mein qurbaten agar hotin
fasle yun na darmiyan hote

tum hi gosha-nashin the 'adil'
warna charche kahan kahan hote
