Here is another beauty by Adam
Wo baatai'n teri, wo fasaanay teray
Shagufta shagufta bahaanay teray
Bus ik daagh-e-sajda meri kaainaat
Jabeenai'n teri, aastaanay teray
Bus ik zakhm nazaara hissa mera
Bahaarai'n teri, aashiyaanay teray
Faqeeroo'n ka jamghut ghadi do ghadi
Sharaabai'n teri, bada-khaanay teray
Zameer-e-sadaf mai'n kiran ka maqaam
Anokhay anokhay bahanay teray
bahar-o-khizaa'n kam nigahoo'n kay wehm
Buray ya bhalay, sab zamanay teray
Adam bhi tera hai hikaayat kadah
Kahaa'n tak ga'ay hai'n fanaanay teray
sorry for any errors...........
Allah Hafiz..

Veeraa'n hai maikada, kham-o-saghar udaas hai
Tum kya ga'ay keh rooth ga'ay din bahaar kay.

Just a correction...
The 2nd line of sher #5 should read
Anokhay anokhay thikaanay teray....
Excuse me for that
