aaj bhi abr-e-masarrat aansoon mein dhal gaya
phir bhari barsat mein dil ka nasheman jal gaya

justaju-e-shab bujhati to miyan kuchh khair thi
raushni ka karwan chashm-e-sahar mein khul gaya

sahab-e-marham teri jab se hui chashm-e-karam
ek zara sa aabla nasur ban kar phal gaya

kya khabar thi jhaala-bari mehrban hogi abhi
ped samjha tha yahi tufan aa kar tal gaya

kuchh samajh aata nahin tark-e-wafa kaise karun
aastin-e-arzu mein phir sanpola pal gaya

ru-ba-ru 'sahil' hai lekin ab bhala kya faeda
sair-e-tufan karte karte jism sara gal gaya
