Lagta to insan khud men magan hai

Jabeen per sabke phir kyon yeh shikan hai

Justaju sabko, talaash hai khushi ki

Shaadmaani phir kyon aur kahan dafan hai

Dhang se na soche ab baaton per koi

Zameer kyon ghaayab, mareezaana zehan hai

Badla hai yaro jahan yeh bahot

Zamin jab wohi aur wohi gagan hai

Udaas hain chaman baharon baghair

Na khilte gulaab na koi saman hai

Ajnabi hain sab, anjaanapan ajab

Humqadam bhi aaj be sukhan hai

Dosto, rota hai dil kuchh to kijiye

Bahot be hiss o be dard yeh zaman hai

Har baat se hon sahmat zururi to nahin

‘Sahil’, per baaton men teri kuch vazn hai
