vo shahr chhoD ke muddat hui chalaa bhi gayaa — Khaleel Tanveer

zamaana laakh sitaaron ko chhu ke aa jaae
abhi dilon ko magar haajat-e-rafu hai vahi

— Khaleel Tanveer

vo log apne aap mein kitne aziim the
jo apne dushmanon se bhi nafrat na kar sake

— Khaleel Tanveer

auron ki buraai ko na dekhun vo nazar de
haan apni buraai ko parakhne kaa hunar de

— Khaleel Tanveer

rusvaa hue zalil hue dar-ba-dar hue
haq baat lab pe aai to ham be-hunar hue

— Khaleel Tanveer

parind shaakh pe tanhaa udaas baiThaa hai
uDaan bhuul gayaa muddaton ki bandish mein

— Khaleel Tanveer

parind unchi uDaanon ki dhun mein rahtaa hai
magar zamin ki hadon mein basar bhi kartaa hai

— Khaleel Tanveer

vo chaand hai to aks bhi paani mein aaegaa
kirdaar khud ubhar ke kahaani mein aaegaa

— Iqbal Sajid

aasmaan jhaank rahaa hai 'khaalid'
chaand kamre mein mire utraa hai

— Khalid Sharif

havaa shaakhon mein rukne aur ulajhne ko hai is lamhe
guzarte baadalon mein chaand haail hone vaalaa hai

— Zafar Iqbal

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi

— Jaun Elia

baat vo aadhi raat ki raat vo puure chaand ki
chaand bhi ain chait kaa us pe tiraa jamaal bhi

— Parveen Shakir

yakka ulaT ke rah gayaa ghoDaa bhaDak gayaa
kaali saDak pe chaand saa chehra chamak gayaa

— Mohammad Alvi
