ek nafas nabud se bahar zara rahta hun main
ik nafas nābūd se bāhar zarā rahtā huuñ maiñ
gum-shuda chīzoñ ke andar lāpata rahtā huuñ maiñ
jitnī bāteñ yaad aatī haiñ vo likh letā huuñ sab
aur phir ek ek kar ke bhūltā rahtā huuñ maiñ
garm-joshī ne mujhe jhulsā diyā thā ek din
andarūñ ke sard-ḳhāne meñ paḌā rahtā huuñ maiñ
ḳharch kar detā huuñ sab maujūd apne haath se
aur nā-maujūd kī dhan meñ lagā rahtā huuñ maiñ
jitnī gahrā.ī hai 'ādil' utnī hī tanhā.ī hai
bas ki sat.h-e-zindagī par tairtā rahtā huuñ maiñ
ek nafas nabud se bahar zara rahta hun main
gum-shuda chizon ke andar lapata rahta hun main
jitni baaten yaad aati hain wo likh leta hun sab
aur phir ek ek kar ke bhulta rahta hun main
garm-joshi ne mujhe jhulsa diya tha ek din
andarun ke sard-KHane mein paDa rahta hun main
KHarch kar deta hun sab maujud apne hath se
aur na-maujud ki dhan mein laga rahta hun main
jitni gahrai hai 'adil' utni hi tanhai hai
bas ki sath-e-zindagi par tairta rahta hun main
