Wo ja bata naaseh jahan bikti ho taskeen

Wo ja bata naaseh jahan bikti ho taskeen
Itna muztar hai insan kya karen aafarin

Sheesha na saaghar na Saqi koi
Aur kehte ho tum khumgah haseen

Mai e naab pilao bin Saqi ke yaaro
Phir baney haseen yeh aala zameen

Zawaal hua aisa ke hota hai ta’ajub
Kaise kehte hain log aafarin aafarin

Kyon bhoola hai tu aaj badli hai dunya
‘Sahil’, nahin hai ab wo imaan o deen

Bhej tu khudaya ab paighambar koi
Zururat hai jahan ko, ameen aameen

Ashok sawhny ‘Sahil’
