Mahabat jala deti hai be bas insan ko

Mahabat jala deti hai be bas insan ko
Jaise barq e tajalli neele aasman ko

Nigah karti hai na paak maasum muskaan ko
Jaise badnaam karte hain daagh daamaan ko

Khush bu mita deti hai har bad bu ko
Jaise imaan mita deta hai bad gumaan ko

Mushkilen aisi hain aaj jahan men, hairatmand
Ke muhaal hai bahot samajhna aasaan ko

Dosto, gar maante ho zeest ko tum imtehaan
To zurur dar karo is khayal e raaegaan ko

‘Sahil’, jab dil men tere basta hai woh khuda
Kyon ma’bad men dhundta hai tu la makaan ko

Ashok sawhny Sahil
