shama jalte hi yahaan hashr kaa manzar hogaa — Shahzad Ahmad

zabaanein thak chukin patthar hue kaan
kahaani an-kahi thi an-kahi hai

— Shahzad Ahmad

shaayad isi baais huiin patthar miri aankhein
jo kuchh ki mujhe dekhnaa thaa dekh liyaa hai

— Shahzad Ahmad

khalq be-parvaa khudaa bandon se tang aayaa huaa
main akelaa phir rahaa huun hashr ke maidaan mein

— Shahzad Ahmad

ek se manzar dekh dekh kar aankhein dukhne lagti hain
is raste par peD bahut hain aur haraa koi bhi nahin

— Shahzad Ahmad

main sun rahaa huun magar dusron ko kaise sunaaun
jo giit gunjtaa rahtaa hai mere kaanon mein

— Shahzad Ahmad

bharpur nahin hain kisi chehre ke khad-o-khaal
dekhaa nahin vo chaand jo puuraa nazar aae

— Shahzad Ahmad

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

— Parveen Shakir

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

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

gul kiyaa jis ne vo thaa aur magar
shama ne shikva havaaon se kiyaa

— Tilok Chand Kausar
