Shab-e- furqat hai, kya karenge khud ko sanwaar ke

Dil ghamgeen hai, na sunaaoo naghme bahar ke

Yaaron ne kiye wadey hum se intzaar ke

Chand khawab dekhe hum ne, samundar ke paar ke

Ro kar guzari shaam, phir ashkon ka kya shumaar

Mizaan mein nahin toltey, gham dil figaar ke

Haazir hai dil o jaan, kaho kya pesh karein

Mangte ho shahadat kis qoul jaan Nisaar ke

Bohat zakhmi hai jigar, daman hai taar taar

Mat suna ‘Sahil’ to qisse dil e daghdaar ke
