"jhiil men bas ek kankar phenk kar da.ere ki guunj main sunti rahi"

"tu ik payade ko shah-mat dena chahta hai main haar maan ga.i apni chaal rahne de"

"khuda ke naam pe jis tarah log mar rahe hain dua karo ki akela khuda na rah jaa.e"

"ham ko khud men qiyam karna tha varna raste paDe the qadmon men"

"is baar madine men hi dar aaya tha kuufa is baar kiya ham ne safar aur tarah ka"

"kuchh chandni udaas thi kuchh dil bhi tha udaas kal raat karb-e-zat bhi had se siva hua"

hai tamaashe kaa ikhtitaam yahi
jab tamaashaa bane tamaashaai

jangon mein thi main maal-e-ghanimat ke taur pe
mere liye kabhi mujhe baanTaa nahin gayaa

koi kyaa bataae ki ziist mein na kashish rahi na mazaa rahaa
jo guzar gayaa vo shabaab thaa jo bikhar gayaa vo jamaal thaa

jhiil mein bas ek kankar pheink kar
daaere ki guunj main sunti rahi

sab chale jaaeinge ik be-naam manzil ki taraf
ghar ki takhti ki jagah katbe lage rah jaaeinge

hamaare she'r naghme aur sajde
adaa jo ho na paae kyaa hue vo
