tanhaai ki ye kaun si manzil hai rafiqo — Shahryar

dil mein rakhtaa hai na palkon pe biThaataa hai mujhe
phir bhi ik shakhs mein kyaa kyaa nazar aataa hai mujhe

— Shahryar

chal chal ke thak gayaa hai ki manzil nahin koi
kyuun vaqt ek moD pe Thahraa huaa saa hai

— Shahryar

zabaan mili bhi to kis vaqt be-zabaanon ko
sunaane ke liye jab koi daastaan na rahi

— Shahryar

safar kaa nashsha chaDhaa hai to kyuun utar jaae
maza to jab hai koi lauT ke na ghar jaae

— Shahryar

har taraf apne ko bikhraa paaoge
aainon ko toD ke pachhtaaoge

— Shahryar

bataaun kis tarah ahbaab ko aankhein jo aisi hain
ki kal palkon se TuuTi niind ki kirchein sameTin hain

— Shahryar

ye aansu ponchh lijiye aur muskuraaiye
chaara nahin hai koi bhi rukhsat kiye baghair

— Nasim Zahid

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

— Khumar Barabankavi

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

— Mir Taqi Mir

main ne apni palkon par gham-kade sajaae hain
aarzu ke maatam mein sogvaar hasti hai

— Hanif Fauq

intihaa ke qarib hai duniyaa
aadmi aakhiri sadi kaa huun

— Zubair Khayali

ham haal to kah sakte hain apnaa pa kahein kyaa
jab vo idhar aate hain to tanhaa nahin aate

— Nazeer Akbar Abadi
