Ab maazi na mustaqbil bas haal hi haal hai
Ab maazi na mustaqbil bas haal hi haal hai
Ai zindagi, tera yeh kaisa kamaal hai
Daur yeh waqt ka, waqt ke guzarne ka
Jab kuchh na aasaan na kuchh muhaal hai
Mah o anjum darakhshaan, phir urooj e aftaab
Ya khudaya, yeh kaisa jah o jalaal hai
Khoobsoorti bhi shai kya hairat angez hai
Kya nigaah ka kul husn o jamaal hai
Puchhta hun tujh se main jo na samajh hun
Zindagi bata kab tera inteqaal hai
‘Sahil’, yeh kaisa ajab be dhanga sawaal hai
Dars yeh kis ka, kya tera apna khayal hai
Maazi Past
Mustaqbil. Future
Haal. Present
Muhaal difficult
Darakhshan. Shining
Urooj e aftaab. Sunrise
Jah o jalaal. Splendour. Magnificence
Hairat angez. Amazing wondrous
Husn o jamaal. Beauty
Inteqal. Demise
