shama ke maanind ham is bazm mein — Khwaja Meer Dard

ne gul ko hai sabaat na ham ko hai e'tibaar
kis baat par chaman havas-e-rang-o-bu karein

— Khwaja Meer Dard

tujhi ko jo yaan jalva-farmaa na dekhaa
baraabar hai duniyaa ko dekhaa na dekhaa

— Khwaja Meer Dard

baagh-e-jahaan ke gul hain yaa khaar hain to ham hain
gar yaar hain to ham hain aghyaar hain to ham hain

— Khwaja Meer Dard

aankhein bhi haae nazaa mein apni badal gaiin
sach hai ki bekasi mein koi aashnaa nahin

— Khwaja Meer Dard

yak-ba-yak naam le uThaa meraa
ji mein kyaa us ke aa gayaa hogaa

— Khwaja Meer Dard

saaqi mire bhi dil ki taraf Tuk nigaah kar
lab-tishna teri bazm mein ye jaam rah gayaa

— Khwaja Meer Dard

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

— Aabid Adeeb

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad

— Muzaffar Abdali

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

— Khumar Barabankavi

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

— Parveen Shakir

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

— Aabid Adeeb

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

— Irfan Sattar
