Saray jahan ko Adeem. Waqif-e-haal kardiya
Tohfa zara sa tha, magar us ne uchaal kar dia

Uski nazar ko daad do jis ne ye haal kardiya
Mera kamal kuch nahi us ne kamal kardiya

Ik nigah ka asar zarf ba zarf mukhtalif
Isko nidhaal kardiya, Usko nihaal kardiya

Ye toa hua hatheliyaan gunbad-e-surkh ban gaiin
Hathon ki oat ne magar rakha sambhal kar diaaa

Koi toa iski qadar kar, koi toa us ko ajar day
Us ne Adeem tujhko dil, kitno ko taal kar diya

Baat sukhan ki chal pari, us ne Adeem maan li
Main ne firaaq kaat kar usko Wisaal kardiya
