aaj bhi abr-e-masarrat aansoon mein Dhal gaya

aaj bhī abr-e-masarrat āñso.oñ meñ Dhal gayā

phir bharī barsāt meñ dil kā nasheman jal gayā

justajū-e-shab bujhātī to miyāñ kuchh ḳhair thī

raushnī kā kārvāñ chashm-e-sahar meñ khul gayā

sāhab-e-marham tirī jab se huī chashm-e-karam

ek zarā sā aabla nāsūr ban kar phal gayā

kyā ḳhabar thī jhālā-bārī mehrbāñ hogī abhī

peḌ samjhā thā yahī tūfān aa kar Tal gayā

kuchh samajh aatā nahīñ tark-e-vafā kaise karūñ

āstīn-e-ārzū meñ phir sañpolā pal gayā

rū-ba-rū 'sāhil' hai lekin ab bhalā kyā fā.eda

sair-e-tūfāñ karte karte jism saarā gal gayā

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
