bin tere zindagi hogi na basar lagta hai
tujh se ek pal bhi bichhad jaun to dar lagta hai

tum jo rahte ho mere sath to ye khasta makan
tuta phuta hua jaisa bhi hai ghar lagta hai

ye kabhi ashraf-e-makhluq hua karta tha
ab to ye aadmi kahne ko bashar lagta hai

ye jo aangan hai ye bazar tak aa pahuncha hai
ab mera ghar bhi to ek rahguzar lagta hai

jis ki buniyaad mein ikhlas-o-mohabbat ho rawan
phir usi ped pe khushiyon ka samar lagta hai

meri har baat pe tum ko jo yaqin hai 'sahil'
is qadar sada-mizaji se bhi dar lagta hai
