Bismil Ke TaDapne Ki Adaon Mein Nasha Tha

bismil ke taDapne ki adaon mein nasha tha

main hath mein talwar liye jhum raha tha

ghunghaT mein mere KHwab ki tabir chhupi thi

mehndi se hatheli mein mera nam likha tha

lab the ki kisi pyali ke honTon pe jhuke the

aur hath kahin gardan-e-mina mein paDa tha

hammam ke aaine mein shab Dub rahi thi

cigarette se nae din ka dhuan phail raha tha

dariya ke kinare pe meri lash paDi thi

aur pani ki tah mein wo mujhe DhunDh raha tha

malum nahin phir wo kahan chhup gaya 'adil'

saya sa koi lams ki sarhad pe mila tha
