jo guzarti hai kaha karta hun
dil ke jazbaat likha karta hun

chun ke jab lati hai alfaz zaban
lab-e-izhaar ko wa karta hun

khair se par lage kashti-e-zist
bas yahi ek dua karta hun

zindagi tujh se wafa ki khatir
dil ki aawaz suna karta hun

gham mein bhi rahta hun main khush 'sahil'
har-nafas aise jiya karta hun
