Talaash hai teri ai zeist, nazar aane ki baat hai

Kya guzarte waqt ka naam hi hayaat hai

Mujhe jeena hai tujhe, bِin jane hue

Wallah! yeh kaisi ajeeb o ghareeb baat hai

Aate nafs ka intzaar, jate nafs ka dar

Yeh aamad o raft ka khel hi raaz-e-mulaqaat hai

Yaro, behas kya zindagi aur maut mein

Dard ke maron se poocho, maut saughaat hai

‘Shahil’, qaza dastaanِ-e-hayaat ki baat hai

Gul ke khilne aur murjhane ki baat hai
