Khuda nahin to iman kya hai

Khuda nahin to iman kya hai
Aur insan na ho to jahan kya hai

Hirs o hawas, khwahish o khwab
Yeh sab kuch nahin to armaan kya hai

Lams e zameer har baat men ho
Varna insan ki pehchaan kya hai

Jo haal e dil na karey bayaan
Woh farzi phir muskaan kya hai

Gar baatin misl e charagh na ho
To sham’a e shabistaan kya hai

Amad o raft to kaam zeest ka hai
Siwa iske aur kaarwaan kya hai

Gar khaaron ka woh aashiyan nahin
To batao phir gulsitaan kya hai

Jo chubhan ka ehsaas na dilaaye kabhi
Woh shai phir nigahban kya hai

Faza men udta phirta hai woh
Per dil na jaley to dhuaan kya hai

Kuch na rukey to ravaan kya hai
Aftaab na dhaley to ayaan kya hai

Sun ne waala na ho kahin agar
Kis ki phir koi daastan kya hai

Humnawayi na ho tumhari agar
To batao gham e hijraan kya hai

Falsafe ki baat hai jahan saara
Zameen nahin to aasmaan kya hai

Kabhi sakoot e sumundur se jaaniye
Sukoon aur itmenaan kya hai

Yaad karna khuda ko hi kaafi hai
Us se aakhir nihaan kya hai

Qahr e khuda se badh kar koi
Vaiiz, tu bata imtehaan kya hai

Gar kuchh bhi muhaal nahin, ‘sahil’
Phir bata jahan men aasaan kya hai
