Ai rind, jaam o meena hai tera, maikhana nahin

Ai rind, jaam o meena hai tera, maikhana nahin
Chund ghariyan, kuchh surur bas, zamana nahin

Sakoot e sumundur dekhiye talatum o tufaan nahin
Rah e junoon hai zindagi roodaad e fasaana nahin

Ik dhadkan hai hayat, isey ghalat na samajhna
Hifazat hai sabaq is ka dil ko tadpaana nahin

Dil naadaan nahin to kya hai kisi aalim ka aashiyan
Firasat ka baatin men dil to koi paimaana nahin

Mausamon ka dastoor apna hai, waqt ki chaal apni
Zeest koi hisaab nahin, bahaaron ka aana jaana nahin

‘Sahil’, khwab na dekhe to gufatgu nazaaron se kaisi
Amali honey ka matlab to khwabon ko sulana nahin
