yun chaman ki tirgi mein raushni dekhi gai
aag apne aashiyan ko hi lagi dekhi gai

hum wafa ki rah mein chalte rahe jalte rahe
jab kahin ja kar andheron mein kami dekhi gai

ro diye hum bhi kabhi to sainkadon tufan uthe
yun hamare aansuon mein dilkashi dekhi gai

wo qafas ki qaid mein bhi kya sitam ki sham thi
zindagi-bhar ki khushi jab ajnabi dekhi gai

ishq mein barbaad rahon ka safar kya tha 'adim'
zindagi be-maut lashon mein dabi dekhi gai
