Talatum kya batalaye haal sailaabon ka

Raqs e dervesh dekhiye mahv e khuda hai woh

Haal jaan kar kya karogey mastaanon ka

Jaan ki baazi lagaane walo

Jaan to musta’ar hai

Naqsh e pa sahil per kya, jab

Manzil hi us paar hai

Takte hain falak ko sab

Kya jannat us paar hai

Kya basta hai khuda wahan

Woh jo sab ka yaar hai

Maana firasatmand ho shaikh

Per, rab to tum se hoshyaar hai

Mominon ka, kaafiron ka

Wohi ek parwardigaar hai

Kabhi to maano baat hamari

Har baat per kyon inkaar hai

Zubaan per aitbaar kya

Jab ashk hi ghamkhwaar hai

Aankh na jhapke phir batana

Ba safa kaun, kaun gunahgaar hai

Yaro, shaikyaan kis kaam ki

Ghalib to maut ki talwaar hai

‘Sahil’ tu hi samjha in uljhanon ko

Momin darey to sirf khuda se

Chalti simoom na kisi hawa se

Fani hai duniya faani hai sab

Puchho naseem puchho saba se

Tu adna hai kitna kohsaaar ko dekh

Khuzu seekh bande Quran o Geeta se

Baad e mukhalif se darna kya

Khaaif hai kyon bata qaza se

Nazar lagey to lagey phir, yaro

Hota hai sab rab ki riza se

Bas, khaak hai manzil ab ‘sahil’ teri

Utheyga tu phir usi jagah se

Woh jo ankh kholey aur khuda nazar aaye

Hijab ko dekhe aur haya  nazar aaye

Jo tukhm ko dekhe aur shajar nazar aaye

Amavas ki ho raat aur taara nazar aaye

Mehboob ki ankh se gar tapke ek aansu

To usey  sailaab o paak darya nazar aaye

Muqaddas ho jis ka ragon men lahu

Aab e kauser usey behta nazar aaye

Maba’d na falak men basta dil men hai Maula

Momin ko wohin woh dhadakta nazar aaye

Kaenaat usi ki, aaghaaz o anjaam bhi

Woh har ja mitaata banaata nazar aaye

Naam labon per uska zururi nahin hai ‘sahil’

Momin ke dil men to uska sajda nazar aaye

Har aarzu poori hoti to kya hota

Sukoon hota ya hangama hota

Gar rona hi tha qismat men meri

To kyon na main aasmaan hua

Sookhi to na rehti zamin yeh kabhi

Na hota phir zamin ko koi gila

Jeeney ka maqsad to ek hi hai yaro

Khushi baantna, gham ka mitaana

Mere roney se banti aala woh shabnam

Dil phir sab ka shaadmaan hota

Mujh hi ko takta jahan phir saara

Khuzu se phir sar mera jhukta

Kyon bhoola hai insaan inkisaari ko aaj

Sar jhuka kar tu ‘sahil’ sab ko bata

Shaadmaan. Glad

Khuzu. Humility

Inkisaari. Humility

Fida honey ka waqt aya, juda honey ka waqt aya

Hum to soche they ruswa honey ka waqt aya

Har su ba pa hai hangama Shaikh ki mehfil ka

Hum ne socha shayad uthne uthaney ka waqt aya

Faramosh they kaise hum dasht e tanhayi men

Yaad na raha ke khud ko sulaney ka waqt aya

Maafi talaafi se kaam na bana to socha humne

Ke ab to do chaar aansu bahaney ka waqt aya

Khazan ka daur dekh kar be zaar hui andaleeb

Tham sa gaya baghban roney rulaney ka waqt aya

Bulbul to nahin hun yaro per kya kijiyega

Ghazal apni hi gungunay ka waqt aya

‘Sahil’, darya bahaya raat bhar per sumundur na bana

Kashti na patwaar koi aur paar jaaney ka waqt aya
