’Sahil’, dil men jhaank

Dil men la makaan milega,

Takta rahega sitaron ko

To sirf aasmaan milega

Majaazi khuda milenge

Na rahnuma koi,

Ghamgusaar nahin

Na humnawa koi

Baat hisaabon ki hogi

Daulat ki shumaar,

Saqi bhi maikade men

Dost na kisi ka yaar

Waqt nahin hai paas kisi ke

Fursat na neeyat kisi ki,

Unsiyat ko bhoolen hain log

Nek nahin hai tabiyat kisi ki

‘Sahil’, ab la makaan ko hi pukaar

Sada teri sunega kaun

Hai insaniyat pe aaj khula waar

Bikhri laashen ginega kaun

Roti maaon ke chehre dekh

Chashm num nahin sumundur dekh,

Dhadkan dil ki be suri

Khaanon ke kabhi tu andar dekh

Yaro, veeranon ki tum mehak to jaano

Barq e tajalli ki jhalak to jaano

Mafhum zindagi ka puchhte ho kya

Tum jeena usey tunuk to jaano



Jo Raahi pagdandiyon ke rahey ta umr

 Momin kya banoge, ab sadak to jaano

Kaafir ko samajhna aasaan nahin hai

Kabhi bhatakte dil ki dhadak to jaano

Tum rang kya bharoge dhanak men zaahid

‘Sahil’, ke pyaalon ki khanak to jaano

Mumkin hai ke jannat aasmaan ke us paar hai

Mumkin yeh bhi ke donon ke darmiyan deewaar hai

Mumkin hai ke woh deewaar sang o khisht ki nahin

Mumkin hai deewaar nahin phoolon ka gulzaar hai

Mustaqil kuchh nahin, pukhtah kuchh nahin

 Kya khabar khazan

Zindagi la mahdood nahin ajal se puchhiye

Phir, dil kyon muztar aur yun be qaraar hai

Baargaah e khuda men dena hai hisaab tujh ko bhi

Munsif, soch kar karna faisla kaun gunahgaar hai

Mumkin hai sahil pe tamashayi sochte hon

Firdaus falak nahin sumundur ke us paar hai

Meri jaan ka aashiq kaun hai yeh pursish kaisi

Mumkin hai khuld o qaza donon ko intezaar hai

Mumkin to sab kuchh hi hota hai ‘sahil’ ji

Mumkin ke dil men basa Rab tera yaar hai

Jalwe shauhrat ke nahin taskeen chahiye

Kya milega aasmaan se zamin chahiye

Pareshaan sa insan dekhiye jidhar chaho

Bina shikan ki apni jabeen chahiye

Kuchle bhi jaayen to kya hua phir

Khaak ko bas do gaz zamin chahiye

Jaanti hai rooh, manzil woh musafir

Isi liye usey hablul mateen chahiye

Khaak hai, ‘sahil’, jaanta hai baat zurur

Ab khaak hi se usey aafarin chahiye

Taskeen. Aaraam

Bina shikan, without furrows

Jabeen. Maatha. Forehead

Hablul matin. Strong rope, God’s rope

Aafarin. Praise

Imtehaan hai zeest baat imtehaan ki karo

Taraqqi ki nahin zaeef dahqaan ki karo  

Dard e dil dard e jigar baat darmaan ki karo

Be imaan hai insan, baat imaan ki karo

Kya kuchh nahin batortehayat men sab

Le jaoge jo saath apne us saamaan ki karo

Chhat nahin sar pe jis ke us ka socho 

Tanha jo falak men hai us la makaan ki karo

‘Sahil’, jal raha hai jahan per fikr kisey nahin

Rang ufaq ka badla hai baat aasmaan ki karo

Zaeef dahqaan. Old feeble

Darmaan.  Dawa ilaaj

Ufaq.

Is irtiqa ke daur ka batao daam kya hai

 Rishte naate bikhar gaye aur anjaam kya hai

Mujh se pursish baaraha mera hai Rab kaun

Yeh to batao Rab tumhare ka naam kya hai

Baant te ho shaikh logon ko mazhab ke tum naam per

Sawaal hum se ke hum batayen ilzaam kya hai

Rab to sab ka ek hai usi ke sab hain kaarigar

Aur yehi sab ka kul is ke siwa maqaam kya hai

Aaj puchhte hain log ‘sahil’ dua salaam kya hai

Aur tum puchhte ho taraqqi ka anjaam kya hai

Kabhi sannate se bhiguftagu kar ke dekho

Phir be chaini ko apni tum mit te dekho

Murjhaati khudi ko tanhayion men dekho

Phir, chaman men khud ko kabhi khilte dekho

Bahaar hi bahaar to nahin hoti baaghbaan

Kabhi kaliyon ko bhi tum bikharte dekho

Num chashm to karti hai gham e dil izhaar

Per, soz e gham hai kitna dil ko rotey dekho

Shaadmaani kya hai kabhi subh se puchho

Zulmaton se ‘sahil’ chehre nikaltey dekho

Yaro, jhagde na hon to koi aur kaar dhundiye

Dil saaf hon sabke to gunahgaar dhundiye

Taweel ho qataar ranj o gham ki agar

To chaurahe pe khadey gham  khwaar dhundiye

Dushman ho zaalim gar tum se bhi badh kar

To ja kar baazaar ek tez  talwaar dhundiye

Shauq phoolon ka ho khazaan men tumhen

To khwabon men phir gul o  gulzaar dhundiye

Aur gulu na ho agar bulbul sa tumhara

To tai khaane men ja kar ek  sitaar dhundiye

Ji chaahe sar phodne ko to aasaan hai ilaaj

Nazdeek kahin ja kar ek  deewaar dhundiye

Aur ho jao ganje be zulf agar  

To ja kar kahin koi dastaar dhundiye

 ‘Sahil’ ho gaya ho tang jo zeest se zyada

Usey kya kahoge koi mazaar  dhundiye

Aur jo tang aa jaaye shayri se teri phir

Usey kya kahoge mazeed koi  hoshyaar dhundiye

Taweel lambi

Ghamkhwaar. 

Gulu. Galaa

Dastaar. Turban

Mazaar. Shrine. Tomb

Mazeed. Zyada

Mujhe rang o bu se kya raabitaah

Kabhi main bhi khilta gulaab tha

Hun main aandhiyon ka shikaar ab

Kabhi main bhi chaman shadaab tha

Khazaan aur veeraan bhi main

Simoom hun main, gard bhi

Jis shajar ka naam chhaaon tha

Woh Bakherta hai ab dard bhi

Waqt ki qaid men mohre sab

Jo aaj ghalib kal usi ki maat

Ghuroob  hua aftaab to kya

Muntazir hai chaandni raat

Ab mujh se na takraaye koi

Hawa bhi ab giraaye mujhe

Yaad e maazi azaab hai ‘sahil’

Jhonka naseem ka sataaye mujhe

Raabitah. Connection

Shaadaab. Verdant

Veeraan  Lone godforsaken desert

Simoom.  Hot breeze

Shajar. Tree

Mohre. Pawns

Ghalib. Triumphant

Ghuroob. To set. Drown

Yaad e maazi.   Nostalgia

Azaab.  Torment. Agony

Naseem.  Fresh breeze

Zururat hai bahot aaj unsiyat ko barhaane ki

Hindu Muslim Sikh Isayi sab ko haath milaane ki

Maalik to woh ek hi hai le kar naam jo chaaho bulao

Mazhab ke in fitnon ko zururat hai mitaane ki

Dosto, parcham lehrao insaniyat ka, daraaren kis liye

Pukhtah honge rishte saare zururat qadam milaane ki

Nek banaye insaan saare Rab ne phir kya hua

Jazba yeh kahan se aaya, sayi sab ko giraane ki 

Kya fitrat insan ki kosna hai chal Vaaiz tu hi bata

Kya behtar nahin ke himmat ho qismat ko haraane ki

Waqt e ikhtetaam hai dil men muztar hain armaan

Kya karun kahan jaaun khwahish hai unhen bujhaane ki

‘Sahil’, muntazir ab kaun hai dehleez pe teri tu bata

Zindagi to ja rahi hai ab chaah kisey hai andar aane ki
