yahin gum hua tha ka.i baar main — Ahmad Mahfuz

"shayad ki riha.i ho gul hi ki zamanat par ham mauj-e-tabassum ki zanjir ke qaidi hain"

"aate aate aa.ega un ka khayal jaate jaate be-khayali ja.egi"

"tariki ke raat azaab hi kya kam the din nikla to suraj bhi saffak hua"

"ye jo dhuan dhuan sa hai dasht-e-guman ke as-pas kya koi aag bujh ga.i sarhad-e-jan ke as-pas"

"zakhmon ko ashk-e-khun se sairab kar raha huun ab aur bhi tumhara chehra khila rahega"

"ab is makan men naya koi dar nahin karna ye kaam sahl bahut hai magar nahin karna"
