Nahin chahiye jahan mukammal mujhe

Nahin chahiye jahan mukammal mujhe
Bas mil jaaye sukoon musalsal mujhe

Kahin nadi kinare do kamre hon apne
Sakoot e sumundur na hulchul mujhe

Shab e tanhayi to manzur hai mujhe
Vaisi hi chahiye mehfil mujhe

Kyon bhooli hai dunya khuda ko aaj
Na kahey koi yaro ghaafil mujhe

‘Sahil’, hua karte the dil bhi narm kabhi
Mat karo patharon men ab shamil mujhe
