Main Bhi Huzur-E-Yar Bahut Der Tak Raha

Khalid Malik Sahil

main bhi huzur-e-yar bahut der tak raha

ankhon men phir ḳhumar bahut der tak raha

kal shaam mere qatl ki tariḳh thi magar

dushman ka intizar bahut der tak raha

ab le chala hai dasht men mera junun mujhe

is jin pe iḳhtiyar bahut der tak raha

vo inkishaf-e-zat ka lamha tha khul gaya

shayad darun-e-ghar bahut der tak raha

ab dekhte ho koi sahara mile tumhen

main bhi to ashk-bar bahut der tak raha

tum maslahat kaho ya munafiq kaho mujhe

dil men magar ghubar bahut der tak raha

main ḳhaak asman ki bulandi ko dekhta

apnon pe e’tibar bahut der tak raha

ilzam-e-ḳhud-sari bhi to sabit kiya gaya

main jab ki ḳhaksar bahut der tak raha

‘sahil’ miri bala se mira hashr hoga kya

duniya men ba-vaqar bahut der tak raha
