saans taaza hava ke chakkar men — Iftikhar Haidar

"shaam hote hi tere hijr ka dukh dil men khema laga ke baiTh gaya"

"apne lahje pe ghaur kar ke bata lafz kitne hain tiir kitne hain"

"shahr men thi na-saz tabi.at beTe ki gaanv men baiThi maan ne khana chhoD diya"

"tere qadmon men aa ke girna hai jis bulandi pe bhi uchhal mujhe"

"ham zamana-shanas the phir bhi dastan-go pe e'tibar kiya"

"tire baghair guzara nahin kisi surat use ye baat batane se baat bigDi hai"
