ye diya khun se jala phir bhi jala hai to sahi
lakh rasman hi mila mujh se mila hai to sahi

an-kahi baat samajh lo to badi baat hai ye
meri khamosh nawai mein sada hai to sahi

dagmagata mujhe dekhe to sahaara de koi
ye jo laghzish hai to laghzish ka maza hai to sahi

bhigi aankhen ye batati hain ki sun kar mera haal
kuchh na kuchh tujh ko bhi ehsas hua hai to sahi

kahen maghrur ko badmast magar sach ye hai
inkisari mein bhi apna hi nasha hai to sahi

zindagi bhar meri hasti mein racha ho jaise
tujh ko dekha nahin mahsus kiya hai to sahi

kawish-e-zist hai kya apni hi hasti ki talash
khud ko pa lena hi insan ka sila hai to sahi

hai jo aazurdagi us ki dam-e-rukhsat 'adil'
tujh ko andaza-e-tajdid-e-wafa hai to sahi
