Story/Poetry

Khayalon men Guftagu Khalwat ka mazaa le Tanhayi ki khushbu ka Lutf ab ‘sahil’ khud se aur Apne hi dil

Kaash Eid aur Holi har mahiney aayen Aur ‘Sahil’ per musalsal safiney aayen Phir hum bhi tanhayi ko khul kar

Chalo aaj kaarwaan badal kar dekh len Haath ki lakiron ko mal kar dekh len Jagah vahm ki bhi to

Mata’a e shauq ya naqd e jaan Dur bahot mah o anjum o assmaan Chahat o khwab, raaegaan aarzu Qafila

Jab chaak hua tha daaman mera chaman ke khaaron se Main ruswa phir kyon hua zamane ki zubaanon se Zururi

Aarzu hai yeh kaisi taskheer e kaaenaat ki Reh gayin baaten kahin hum se mulaqaat ki Marasim men tijarat to

Zor o zabardasti se kuch haasil nahin hota Qismat ke mukhatib koi ghaafil nahin hota Bhar jaana to fitrat zakhmon

Hamen yeh na samjhao mukhbiri kya hai Bas itna bata do ghalati hamari kya hai Rang se, mazhab se, zuban

Kaho shai kaunsi yahan faani nahin hai Ik musht e ghubbar aur paani nahin hai ‘Sahil’, taraqqi ke danke bajaati
