main bhi huzur-e-yar bahut der tak raha
aankhon mein phir khumar bahut der tak raha

kal sham mere qatl ki tarikh thi magar
dushman ka intizar bahut der tak raha

ab le chala hai dasht mein mera junun mujhe
is jin pe ikhtiyar bahut der tak raha

wo inkishaf-e-zat ka lamha tha khul gaya
shayad darun-e-ghaar bahut der tak raha

ab dekhte ho koi sahaara mile tumhein
main bhi to ashk-bar bahut der tak raha

tum maslahat kaho ya munafiq kaho mujhe
dil mein magar ghubar bahut der tak raha

main khak aasman ki bulandi ko dekhta
apnon pe e'tibar bahut der tak raha

ilzam-e-khud-sari bhi to sabit kiya gaya
main jab ki khaksar bahut der tak raha

'sahil' meri bala se mera hashr hoga kya
duniya mein ba-waqar bahut der tak raha
