Naa koi zindaan, naa hi apne pairon mein zanjeer dekha,
Phir bhi jaane kyun jab aayine mein dekha to ek aseer dekha....

Husn kuch aisa ki misaalen bhi kam pad gayin hain dene ko,
Samajh lo ki main ne shahar ki tang galiyon mein Kashmeer dekha...

Jab ho gaya muntazir yeh dil uski har khabar ke liye,
Uss gali se aate har shai mein maine ek basheer dekha...

Karam tha Khuda ka ki sehatmand hua karta tha main,
Gasht-e-chashm-e-yaara dekha, phir har dawa ko be-taaseer dekha

"Aadil "Jo uski muskurahat ne bana daala iss dil ko shayar mere,
Phir kabhi naa Ghalib, naa Faiz aur naa Meer Taqi Meer dekha...

Aye Raat! Aaj phir tum se baat karna chahta hoon,
Bahot keh diya maine, aaj teri aawaz sunna chahta hoon.
Abb nahi khwahish meri ki main chaand taaron ko dekhoon,
Aaj bas tere ghup andhere me bilakhna chahta hoon.

-

Kabhi kuch seh liya toh kabhi kuch keh diya,
Tumne jahan bhi rakha zindagi me, reh liya..

-

Tumhe rok lene ki haisiyat nahi thi meri,
Tum sochti rahi ki neeyat nahi thi meri...

-

Tumse behtar kisi aur ko paana aasaan kahan,
Tumhare layak khud ko banaana aasaan kahan...

Boond boond kar paani toh bhar liya hai maine,
Magar is taalaab me ravaani laana aasaan kahan.

Aansuon se saari tijaarat poori kar li hai maine,
Abb yahan mujhe aur rulaana aasaan kahan..

Baat sirf yeh ki zinda hoon zindagi ke bina bhi,
Marr jaata, par yahan marr jaana aasaan kahan.

Yeh marne ki baat toh bahot badi ho gayi "Aadil"
Yahan raaton me khud ko sulaana aasaan kahan.

Mohabbat aisi ki kahin shadeed kahin sehmi rahi,
Kahin humen khush-fehmi toh kahin galat-fehmi rahi...

-

Naa ghar bulaata hai, naa shahar bulaata hai,
Hum woh musafir jisse har safar rulaata hai...

-

Oh, dear Tree! You look so glum and sad,
Is the Autumn always this bad?

Cheer up! At least You'll get your leaves back,
While I have more miseries and sufferings to add.

-

The journey was painful. 
I'm still lost on the way waiting to be found...

They said there would be flames,
All I ever felt was ashes all around...

Tell me! Does love really dictate destiny?
Or has it always been the other way round?

-

Aaj phir koi uski khabar bataa gaya hai,
Aaj phir koi yeh mera dil jalaa gaya hai...

Allah! Yeh kaisi bhook paisa aur shohrat ki,
Yahaan Insaan Insaan ko khaa gaya hai...

Yeh kisne keh diya ki main phir ro raha hoon,
Bas koi mere takiye par paani giraa gaya hai...

Pehle jo khud apne paas bulate the humen,
Abb kehte hain ki dekho yeh phir aa gaya hai...

Charagon ko abb hum nahi jalaate "Aadil",
Abb humen yeh andhera hi bhaa gaya hai....
