"matam-e-marg-e-tamanna na samajh ai nadan zindagi bol rahi hai mire afsane men"

"vo gham ho ya alam ho dard ho ya alam-e-vahshat use apna samajh ai zindagi jo tere kaam aa.e"

"aaj tak dair-o-haram men tegh hi chalti rahi laakh ham-rindon ne chaha shisha-o-saghar chalen"

"abhi farq hai aadmi aadmi men abhi duur hai aadmi aadmi se"

"shagufta phuul jo dekhe to 'shauq' yaad aaya diye the daagh bhi gulshan ne be-shumar mujhe"

"mire khayal ki vus.at men hain hazar chaman kahan kahan se nikalegi ye bahar mujhe"
