Phail raha hai dekhiye ek ghazab ka jazba e nafrat

Pahunche jahan pahunche mera ab payaam e mahabat

Lipta hai jahan saara kyon zalzalon men aaj

Ahsaan faramosh insan bhula hai apni Insaniyat

Sitaarey to kayi hazaar farozaan hotey hain falak per

Akhtar shumaari nahin, saraab hai yeh shauhrat

Gin ney ginaaney ka kaam to ahl e siyaasi jaanen

Na pesha yeh mera na mujhe daulat se qurbat

Sarwat, shauhrat aur waqaar hain apni jagah vaaiz

Yaqin pukhta Khuda per, hai yeh sab se badi taaqat

Daastaan go nahin hun karta hun bayaan main sach

Kahani nahin hai dosto, meri zeest ki hai yeh haqeeqat

Bayaan e asl karte sab katraate hain jaane kyon

Sheeshe ko bhi deekhaate hain chehra e munafiqat

‘Sahil’, rang qismat ke main ne dekhen hain saare

Haath milaaye ameeri se aur dekhi hai main ne ghurbat
