Munshi Khairati Laal Shagufta

"na sharmao ankhen mila kar to dekho mulaqat hai ham se tum se kabhi ki"

"mujh ko rote dekh kar paas aa.e vo tafhim ko kyuun na dil se duun dua.en apne ghain o miim ko"

"dekho nigah-e-shauq se meri taraf mujhe ye mudda.a hai aur koi mudda.a nahin"

"miri janib ko karvaT le ke gar mujh se lipaT jaao abhi dene lage miri tarah tum ko dua karvaT"

"dil hai nisar mardumak-e-chashm-e-dost par bimar ko hai mardum-e-bimar se gharaz"

"adab bakhsha hai aisa rabt-e-alfaz-e-munasib ne do-zanu hai miri tab-e-rasa tarkib-e-urdu se"

na sharmaao aankhein milaa kar to dekho
mulaaqaat hai ham se tum se kabhi ki

ba-shakl-e-naakhun-e-angusht sar kaTaane se
hayaat milti hai jab intiqaal hotaa hai

haT na kar ai dukht-e-raz betaabiyaan baDh jaaeingi
gir paDegi paanv par dastaar-e-minaa dekhnaa

main vo shaidaa-e-gesu huun ki aksar mausam-e-gul mein
miraa paa-e-nazar paDtaa hai zanjir-e-gulistaan par

adab bakhshaa hai aisaa rabt-e-alfaaz-e-munaasib ne
do-zaanu hai miri tab-e-rasaa tarkib-e-urdu se

jo husn-o-ishq kaa ham-vazn imtihaan Thahraa
vo be-dahan nazar aayaa mein be-zabaan Thahraa
