tamannā dil meñ ghar kartī bahut hai
havā is dasht meñ chaltī bahut hai
jamānā rañg is duniyā se sīkhe
ki hai to kuchh nahīñ bantī bahut hai
use ik pal kabhī rahne na denā
phaphūñdī qalb par jamtī bahut hai
ki saarī umr añgāre chune haiñ
hathelī haath kī jaltī bahut hai
'suhail-ahmad' samajh kar sarf karnā
zarā sī zindagī lagtī bahut hai
