Bhale jaan ho tum har mehfil ki

Bhale jaan ho tum har mehfil ki
Ret hi khamyaza hai ‘sahil’ ki

Kal kya hoga na hoga kaun jaane
Zulmat hi rahnuma hai mustaqbil ki

Shamsheer to mujrim nahin hua karti
Huzoor, niyat jaaniye nigah e qaatil ki

Ek hi jagah baste hain sach o jhoot donon
Zabaan hi miyaan hai baatil ki

Sang-dil to woh ho hi nahin sakta
Jo samjhata hai dhadkan apne dil ki

Aasaan kya aur kya muhaal, naaseh
Koi mushkilen bhi to jaane mushkil ki

Jee le hai tu ne umr tamaam, ‘sahil’
Ab fikr kyon tujhe kisi mustaqbil ki
