Sukun ki hoti justaju gar be qaraar hota

Umeed ka sawaal uth ta gar intezaar hota

Bant gayi hai dunya mazhab ke azaab se

Kaash, is ke ghalat istemaal ka mismar hota

Gham bant ta nahin to kya kijiye kaho

Kaash, fitrat insaan ki men ghamkhwaar hota

Paimaan shikan nahin vaadon ka main pukhta

Haaye, kisi per mujhe kuchh aitbaar hota

Lutf e jaam o subu tujhe hum seekhla dete
Gar sufi nahin tu ‘sahil’ baada khwaar hota

Azaab. Calamity

Mismaar. Destruction. Ruin

Fitrat. Nature of humans

Paiman shikan. Promise breaker

Pukhta. Pukka

Jaam o subu. Cup goblet

Baadakhwar. Sharabi
