jokham ai mardum-e-dida hai samajh ke ronaa — Unknown

log kaanTon se bach ke chalte hain
main ne phulon se zakhm khaae hain

dil TuTne se thoDi si taklif to hui
lekin tamaam umr ko aaraam ho gayaa

duniyaa mein vahi shakhs hai taazim ke qaabil
jis shakhs ne haalaat kaa rukh moD diyaa ho

miri namaaz-e-janaaza paDhi hai ghairon ne
mare the jin ke liye vo rahe vazu karte

ye hamin hain ki tiraa dard chhupaa kar dil mein
kaam duniyaa ke ba-dastur kiye jaate hain

jin ke kirdaar se aati ho sadaaqat ki mahak
un ki tadris se patthar bhi pighal sakte hain

mujid jo nuur kaa hai vo meraa charaagh hai
parvaana huun main anjuman-e-kaaenaat kaa

gardish-e-ayyaam se chalti hai nabz-e-kaaenaat
vaqt kaa pahiya rukaa to zindagi ruk jaaegi

mujh ko shauq-e-justuju-e-kaaenaat
khaak se 'aadil' khalaa tak le gayaa

kare dariyaa na pul mismaar mere
abhi kuchh log hain us paar mere

ye maslak apnaa apnaa hai ye fitrat apni apni hai
jalaao aashiyaan tum ham kareinge aashiyaan paidaa

jaa lagegi kashti-e-dil saahil-e-ummid par
dida-e-tar se agar dariyaa ravaan ho jaaegaa
