safar ke ba.ad bhī mujh ko safar meñ rahnā hai
nazar se girnā bhī goyā ḳhabar meñ rahnā hai

abhī se os ko kirnoñ se pī rahe ho tum
tumheñ to ḳhvāb sā āñkhoñ ke ghar meñ rahnā hai

havā to aap kī qismat meñ honā likkhā thā
magar maiñ aag huuñ mujh ko shajar meñ rahnā hai

nikal ke ḳhud se jo ḳhud hī meñ Duub jaatā hai
maiñ vo safīna huuñ jis ko bhañvar meñ rahnā hai

tumhāre ba.ad koī rāsta nahīñ miltā
to tai huā ki udāsī ke ghar meñ rahnā hai

jalā ke kaun mujhe ab chale kisī kī taraf
bujhe diye ko to 'ādil' khañDar meñ rahnā hai

safar ke baad bhi mujh ko safar mein rahna hai
nazar se girna bhi goya KHabar mein rahna hai

abhi se os ko kirnon se pi rahe ho tum
tumhein to KHwab sa aankhon ke ghar mein rahna hai

hawa to aap ki qismat mein hona likkha tha
magar main aag hun mujh ko shajar mein rahna hai

nikal ke KHud se jo KHud hi mein Dub jata hai
main wo safina hun jis ko bhanwar mein rahna hai

tumhaare baad koi rasta nahin milta
to tai hua ki udasi ke ghar mein rahna hai

jala ke kaun mujhe ab chale kisi ki taraf
bujhe diye ko to 'adil' khanDar mein rahna hai
