Ai ahl e chaman gulshan hai yeh jahan

Ai ahl e chaman gulshan hai yeh jahan
Ek doosre ko tum phoolon se sanwaaro

Arbaab ya adoo, insan hain woh sab
Alfaaz hain kaafi, patharon se na maaro

Yeh jhagre mazhab ke hain fitne aaj kaise
Taur tareeqey yahan ke aaj mil kar sudhaaro

Bhagwaan ya khuda, naam God ya kuchh aur
Paasbaan woh sab ka usey yaar keh ke pukaaro

Khatm honge zubaanon men fuzul ke jhagre
Kyon samajhte nahin ho tum jahan ke, aawaaro

Farz tera hai vaaiz samjhaana logon ko
Hum samajhte kyon nahin hain batao tum yaro

‘Sahil’, jeena hai kya aaj bandook ke sahaare
Naam khuda ka tum le kar subh shaam guzaro

Ashok sawhny ‘Sahil’
