adu to chhoD diye KHair-KHwah mar diye

adū to chhoḌ diye ḳhair-ḳhvāh maar diye

muhāfizoñ ne ka.ī be-gunāh maar diye

bahut satā.e hue lashkaroñ kī haibat ne

darūn-e-qasr ka.ī bādshāh maar diye

lahū taḌapne lagā hai ki surḳh noToñ ne

bharī kach.harī meñ saare gavāh maar diye

añdherā jab bhī baḌhāyā gayā zamāne meñ

charāġh-e-haq ne sabhī rū-siyāh maar diye

jab aa.ī baat kabhī hamsarī se masnad par

to sarbarāhoñ ne kuchh sarbarāh maar diye

nahīñ hai vaqt sā 'ādil' koī yahāñ jis ne

kulāheñ rol diiñ aur kaj-kulāh maar diye

adu to chhoD diye KHair-KHwah mar diye

muhafizon ne kai be-gunah mar diye

bahut satae hue lashkaron ki haibat ne

darun-e-qasr kai baadshah mar diye

lahu taDapne laga hai ki surKH noTon ne

bhari kachhari mein sare gawah mar diye

andhera jab bhi baDhaya gaya zamane mein

charagh-e-haq ne sabhi ru-siyah mar diye

jab aai baat kabhi hamsari se masnad par

to sarbarahon ne kuchh sarbarah mar diye

nahin hai waqt sa 'adil' koi yahan jis ne

kulahen rol din aur kaj-kulah mar diye
