lutf tab amard-parasti kaa hai baagh-e-khuld mein — Munawar Khan Ghafil

sitaare gum hue khurshid niklaa
araq jab yaar ne ponchhaa jabin se

— Munawar Khan Ghafil

apne majnun ki zaraa dekh to be-parvaai
pairahan chaak hai aur fikr silaane ki nahin

kucha-e-jaanaan mein yaaro kaun suntaa hai miri
mujh se vaan phirte hain laakhon daad aur be-daad mein

— Munawar Khan Ghafil

kaun dariyaa-e-mohabbat se utar saktaa hai paar
kashti-e-farhaad aakhir koh se Takraa gai

— Munawar Khan Ghafil

baad marne ke miri qabr pe aayaa 'ghaafil'
yaad aai mire iisaa ko davaa mere baad

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

khabar to hai hi magar mo'tabar zyaada nahin

maango samundaron se na saahil ki bhiik tum
haan fikr o fan ke vaaste gahraai maang lo

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