Gham ke aansu na piye to rotey phir reh jaoge
Gham ke aansu na piye to rotey phir reh jaoge
Kiran subh ki na aayi agar to sotey phir reh jaoge
Farz hai dil ko samjhana fitrat uski hai aawaaragi
Varna usey baar baar khotey phir reh jaoge
Aaj idhar kal udhar mustaqbil phir jaane kahan
Ja ba ja, subh o shaam, usey dhundte phir reh jaoge
Dil laga kar de diya wapas to woh aayega nahin
Ashkon se num haath tum apne malte phir reh jaoge
Qafas men rakh dil ko ‘sahil’ par to usey chahiyen nahin
Udta hai haseena dekh, tum yun hi takte phir reh jaoge
Ashok sawhny ‘Sahil’
