parvaane ke huzur jalaayaa na shama ko — 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

— Munawar Khan Ghafil

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

— Munawar Khan Ghafil

vasl mein bhi nahin majaal-e-sukhan
is rasaai pe naa-rasaa hain ham

— Munawar Khan Ghafil

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

— Mirza Mohammad Hadi Aziz Lakhnavi

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

— Parveen Shakir

ghulaami mein na kaam aati hain shamshirein na tadbirein
jo ho zauq-e-yaqin paidaa to kaT jaati hain zanjirein

— Allama Iqbal

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

— Asim Wasti

maarka garm to ho lene do khun-rezi kaa
pahle shamshir ke niche hamin jaa baiTheinge

— Mir Taqi Mir

ghazal mein jab talak ehsaas ki shiddat na ho shaamil
faqat alfaaz ki kaarigari mahsus hoti hai

— Sandeep Gupte
