lahu men utarti rahi chandni — Adil Mansuri

"tum ko da.ava hai sukhan-fahmi ka jaao 'ghalib' ke taraf-dar bano"

"mujhe pasand nahin aise karobar men huun ye jabr hai ki main khud apne ikhtiyar men huun"

"dariya ke kinare pe miri laash paDi thi aur paani ki tah men vo mujhe DhunD raha tha"

"kab tak paDe rahoge havaon ke haath men kab tak chalega khokhle shabdon ka karobar"

"niind bhi jagti rahi puure hue na khvab bhi sub.h hui zamin par raat Dhali mazar men"

"zara der baiThe the tanha.i men tiri yaad ankhen dukhane lagi"
