shaam hai ye vaade ki ishq ke iraade ki — Nazir Wahid

mujh se ziyaada kaun tamaasha dekh sakegaa
gaandhi-ji ke tinon bandar mere andar

— Nazir Wahid

dekhne vaale tujhe dekhte honge lekin
dekhne vaalon ko hairat bhi to hoti hogi

— Nazir Wahid

paDhne vaalaa bhi to kartaa hai kisi se mansub
sabhi kirdaar kahaani ke nahin hote hain

— Nazir Wahid

ik nae gham se kinaaraa bhi to ho saktaa hai
ishq phir ham ko dobaaraa bhi to ho saktaa hai

— Nazir Wahid

hausle dard-bayaani ke nahin hote hain
ab yahaan lafz maaani ke nahin hote hain

— Nazir Wahid

rang darkaar the ham ko tiri khaamoshi ke
ek aavaaz ki tasvir banaani thi hamein

— Nazir Wahid

bil-aakhir thak haar ke yaaro ham ne bhi taslim kiyaa
apni zaat se ishq hai sachchaa baaqi sab afsaane hain

— Ibn

sabhi se jab mohabbat chaahte ho
mohabbat kyon nahin karte sabhi se

— Saleem Amrohvi

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

na paak hogaa kabhi husn o ishq kaa jhagDaa
vo qissa hai ye ki jis kaa koi gavaah nahin

— Haidar Ali Aatish

hamaaraa ishq ravaan hai rukaavaTon mein 'zafar'
ye khvaab hai kisi divaar se nahin ruktaa

— Zafar Iqbal

sau fasaad ek ishq mein uTThe
boyaa ik tukhm uge hazaar darakht

— Imdad Ali Bahr
