hazar daam se nikla huun ek jumbish men — Shefta Mustafa Khan

"shayad isi ka naam mohabbat hai 'shefta' ik aag si hai siine ke andar lagi hui"

"ham talib-e-shohrat hain hamen nang se kya kaam badnam agar honge to kya naam na hoga"

"itni na baDha paki-e-daman ki hikayat daman ko zara dekh zara band-e-qaba dekh"

"iz.har-e-ishq us se na karna tha 'shefta' ye kya kiya ki dost ko dushman bana diya"

"fasane yuun to mohabbat ke sach hain par kuchh kuchh baDha bhi dete hain ham zeb-e-dastan ke liye"

"shab vasl ki bhi chain se kyunkar basar karen jab yuun nigahbani murgh-e-sahar karen"
