Dil dhadakta ho to phir shikastagi kaisi

Dil dhadakta ho to phir shikastagi kaisi
Aur masaail na hon to phir zindagi kaisi

Tum jaate ho ma’bad dua maangne yaro
Jab dil men khuda hai phir yeh bandagi kaisi

Dil diya phir liya diya phir kisi aur ko
Mahabat aur wafa kaisi, yeh bargashtagi ksisi

Kitnon ko baantega dil kis kis se lagaayega
Shaikh khuda ka khauf kar yeh dilbastagi kaisi

Aaj dua na salaam bas “Hello” hai zubaan
Tu hi bata ‘sahil’ yeh shaaistagi kaisi

Ashok sawhny ‘Sahil’
