Be saakhta aur daanistah kya
Aandhi aur aahistah kya

Soz e dil ko samjhiye
Dard ya phir hai aah kya

Intekhaab ki hi to baat hai
Pagdandiyan or raasta kya

Hayaat hai sab ki apni apni
Ghafil khud se to waasta kya

Kal subh ki baat, mustaqbil kya
Yeh lamha na jiya phir jiya kya

Anjam e zeest se waaqif sab
Phir, lafz yeh hamesha kya

Sukun ki talaash saraab hai, ‘sahil’
Pal pal ki baat, do rozaah kya
