kuchh nahin hota shab bhar sochon ka sarmaya hota hai
kuchh nahīñ hotā shab bhar sochoñ kā sarmāyā hotā hai
ham ne sehn ke ik kone meñ diyā jalāyā hotā hai
shām-e-tarab ke lamho is ko mat āvāzeñ diyā karo
raat ne apne sar par ġham kā bojh uThāyā hotā hai
jalte haiñ to peḌ hī jalte haiñ sūraj kī hiddat se
phūloñ par to pattoñ kī ThanDak kā saayā hotā hai
maiñ ne aaj talak na dekhā pau phaTne kā manzar tak
jab bhī so kar uThtā huuñ to bādal chhāyā hotā hai
kis ne kahā hai dīvāroñ par saaya kartā hai sūraj
dīvāroñ par dīvāroñ kā apnā saayā hotā hai
un logoñ se pūchhe koī sher kā rutba aur shu.ūr
jin logoñ ne ġhazal ko apnā ḳhuun pilāyā hotā hai
shahr ke log bhī shahr ke hañgāmoñ meñ gum hote hī 'adīm'
bastī vāloñ ne bhī koī rog lagāyā hotā hai
kuchh nahin hota shab bhar sochon ka sarmaya hota hai
hum ne sehn ke ek kone mein diya jalaya hota hai
sham-e-tarab ke lamho is ko mat aawazen diya karo
raat ne apne sar par gham ka bojh uThaya hota hai
jalte hain to peD hi jalte hain suraj ki hiddat se
phulon par to patton ki ThanDak ka saya hota hai
main ne aaj talak na dekha pau phaTne ka manzar tak
jab bhi so kar uThta hun to baadal chhaya hota hai
kis ne kaha hai diwaron par saya karta hai suraj
diwaron par diwaron ka apna saya hota hai
un logon se puchhe koi sher ka rutba aur shuur
jin logon ne ghazal ko apna KHun pilaya hota hai
shahr ke log bhi shahr ke hangamon mein gum hote hi 'adim'
basti walon ne bhi koi rog lagaya hota hai
