muddaaa ham apnaa kaaghaz par raqam kar jaaeinge — Hayat Lakhnavi

ab dilon mein koi gunjaaish nahin milti 'hayaat'
bas kitaabon mein likkhaa harf-e-vafaa rah jaaegaa

— Hayat Lakhnavi

silsila khvaabon kaa sab yunhi dharaa rah jaaegaa
ek din bistar pe koi jaagtaa rah jaaegaa

— Hayat Lakhnavi

khudaa ke vaaste mohr-e-sukut toD bhi de
tamaam shahr tiri guftugu kaa pyaasaa hai

— Hayat Lakhnavi

ye jazba-e-talab to miraa mar na jaaegaa
tum bhi agar miloge to ji bhar na jaaegaa

— Hayat Lakhnavi

har sadaa se bach ke vo ehsaas-e-tanhaai mein hai
apne hi divaar-o-dar mein gunjtaa rah jaaegaa

— Hayat Lakhnavi

chehre ko tere dekh ke khaamosh ho gayaa
aisaa nahin savaal tiraa laa-javaab thaa

— Hayat Lakhnavi

kaho kyaa mehrbaan naa-mehrbaan taqdir hoti hai

nahin vo sham-e-mohabbat rahi to phir 'aasim'
ye kis duaa se mire ghar mein raushni si hai

abr barse to inaayat us ki
shaakh to sirf duaa karti hai

sikhaa na duaaon mein qanaaat kaa saliqa
vo maang rahaa huun jo muqaddar mein nahin hai

— Asim Wasti

yaad aae hain uff gunah kyaa kyaa
haath uThaae hain jab duaa ke liye

— Zaki Kakorvi

dukh na sahne ki sazaaon mein ghiraa rahtaa hai
shahr kaa shahr duaaon mein ghiraa rahtaa hai

— Zakariya Shaz
