Aaj khush na hua ayena kyon ‘sahil’ ki muskaan se
Kya shirin na nikle alfaaz us ki na gawaar zubaan se
Udaas kyon, vajh kya bulbul teri aaj kh-moshi ki
Aayegi phir bahaar zuroor kyon darey hai tu khazan se
Mit ti hai tishnagi magar, ahistah ahistah zamin ki
Girey hai jab haule haule baarish aasmaan se
Sookha dil aur sookhi jaan hai bujhe na jis ki pyaas
Baithe lab e darya bhi, aab e joo e ravaan se
Yaad rahey insan tujhe bas faani hai yeh dunya
Na guzeer hai kuchh nahin, uth te hain sab jahan se
Dil ke jazbe dil hi jaane, maalik hai woh apna
Udaas hai man kis ka kis ka aaj dil e sozaan se
Sar jhuka kar chalta hai, haath uth te nahin dua ko
Ya Rab, haal hai yeh ‘sahil’ ka teri nematon ki giraan se
