Ik Khalish ko hasil-e-umer-e-rawan rehnay dia

Ik Khalish ko haasil-e-umr-e-ravaaN rahane diyaa
jaan kar ham ne unhen naameharabaaN rahane diyaa


kitanii diivaaron ke saaye haath phailaate rahe
ishq ne lekin hamen beKhvaanamaaN rahane diyaa


apane apane hausale apanii talab kii baat hai
chun liyaa hamne unhen saaraa jahaaN rahane diyaa


ye bhii kyaa jiine men jiinaa hai baGair un ke "Adeeb"
shama gul kar dii ga_ii baaqii dhuaaN rahane diyaa
