Dil ne mohlat na dee

Hangaamon ne fursat na dee

Hum kya karte ‘sahil’ bata

Jab saanson ne aur ijazat na dee

Pa ba jaulaan nahin hai hayaat

Per muqarrar hain sab din o raat,

Maana ke na samajhni mushkil nahin

Lekin, pecheedah zurur hai yeh baat

Aazaadi bina paabandi nahin hoti

Zulmat na ho to tabindagi nahin hoti,

Khuftah ho zameer to sochiye zara

Nadamat o sharmindagi nahin hoti

Falsafa , falsafa nahin haqeeqat bayaani hoti hai

Zindagi to har insan ki apni kahani hoti hai,

Dastaan goi samjhiye, ravaan manind e darya

Magar dil ki dhadkan to zurur la saani hoti hai

Ruk jaaye to band kitaab hai

Bin unwaan bin hisaab hai,

Baargah e maula to haazir hona hai

Phir, na kuchh gehra na hi payaab hai

Lamhon ka khel mukhtasar kya taweel

Kaasa ba dast koi, koi hai jaleel,

Riza khuda ki maan le ‘sahil’

Kisi kaam na saboot na hai koi daleel

Bas, jeene ka hi naam hayaat hai

Shirin zubaan hi saughaat hai,

Nasheb o faraaz e zeest to

Qismat, ittefaaq ki baat hai,

Subh o shaam

Din o raat ki mulaqaat hai,

Mohre hain sab

Zindagi bazeecha e bisaat hai,

Haq ki baaten hoti hain bahot

Woh to bas khuda ki zaat hai

Kuchh dastaras men hai to wohi hai

Humsafar hai Rab yeh sahi hai,

Afsos, samajh men aati hai yeh baat ‘sahil’

Jab, waqt e ikhtetaam ho sach bhi yehi hai

Pa ba jaulaan. Zanjeeron men

Pecheedah. Complex

Tabindagi. Raushan

Taweel. Lamba

Unwaan. Title

Baargaah e maula. Rab ke aagey

Daleel argument. Evidence

Saughaat. Gift

Nasheb o faraaz. Viscissitudes of life

Baazeecha e bisat. Game of chess

Dastaras. Within reach

Waqt e ikhtetaam. The end
