Aafaten kya aur kya gardishen

Aafaten kya aur kya gardishen
Anjaam to sabka hain naalishen

Faasle sab aur ulfaten
Hain dooriyaan aur qurbaten

Dasht e tanhayi aur sohbaten
Alag qism ki yeh mehfilen

Maayal zubaan hai kis taraf
Bunyaad iski hain niyaten

Himmat e mardaan hai shai nahin
Asl himmat ka naam hai auraten

Aaj zulm o sitam jahan men sab
Hain mardon ki yeh nematen

Sudharen gar yeh harkaten, apni
Tab milen Rab ki inhen barkaten

‘Sahil’,  aasaan aur kya mushkilen
Chal, pehle jeene se to nimat len
