is se pahle ki mizaj apna samundar badle
sust raftar safinon ne bhi tewar badle

ban gai tegh-e-rawan mauj-e-hawa-e-hijran
sham aai to teri yaad ne paikar badle

mausam-e-taza ki aahat hai mere kanon mein
barg shakhon ne parindon ne nae par badle

meri mitti mein hai jazb us ke badan ki khushbu
nind ka lutf hi ud jae jo bistar badle

sadaf-e-dil mein jo gauhar tha wahi hai ab bhi
yun to dariyaon ne har roz shanawar badle

aaj bhi aks wahi hai jo bahut pahle tha
aaina-khane mein aaine to aksar badle

nae alfaz-o-maani ki talab hai 'sahil'
ghair-mumkin hai mizaj apna sukhanwar badle
