jahaan mein thi bas ik afvaah tere jalvon ki — Firaq Gorakhpuri

na ho ehsaas to saaraa jahaan hai be-his-o-murda
gudaaz-e-dil ho to dukhti ragein milti hain patthar mein

— Firaq Gorakhpuri

kam se kam maut se aisi mujhe ummid nahin
zindagi tu ne to dhoke pe diyaa hai dhoka

— Firaq Gorakhpuri

bahut dinon mein mohabbat ko ye huaa maalum
jo tere hijr mein guzri vo raat raat hui

— Firaq Gorakhpuri

kisi kaa yuun to huaa kaun umr bhar phir bhi
ye husn o ishq to dhokaa hai sab magar phir bhi

— Firaq Gorakhpuri

jo uljhi thi kabhi aadam ke haathon
vo gutthi aaj tak suljhaa rahaa huun

— Firaq Gorakhpuri

chhuT ke ghar aa gae asiir tire
lekin ab in ko kaun pahchaane

— Firaq Gorakhpuri

jinhein ye fikr nahin sar rahe rahe na rahe
vo sach hi kahte hain jab bolne pe aate hain

— Aabid Adeeb

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

— Parveen Shakir

sunaa hai vo mire baare mein sochtaa hai bahut
khabar to hai hi magar mo'tabar zyaada nahin

— Zafar Iqbal

azaab-e-daanish-e-haazir se baa-khabar huun main
ki main is aag mein Daalaa gayaa huun misl-e-khalil

— Allama Iqbal

be-ilm shaairon kaa gila kyaa hai ai 'munir'
hai ahl-e-ilm ko tiraa tarz-e-bayaan pasand

— Muneer Shikohabadi

us ke rukhsaar pe hai aur tire honT pe til
tilmilaane ki ijaazat nahin di jaaegi

— Inayat Ali Khan
