us ke ahd-e-shabab men jiina — Akhtar Shirani

"laundry kholi thi us ke ishq men par vo kapDe ham se dhulvata nahin"

"kucha-e-husn chhuTa to hue rusva-e-sharab apni qismat men jo likkhi thi vo khvari na ga.i"

"mar ja.enge jab ham to bahut yaad karegi ji bhar ke sata le shab-e-hijran koi din aur"

"rangini-o-nuz.hat pe na maghrur ho bulbul hai rang bahar-e-chamanistan koi din aur"

"gham-e-zamana ne majbur kar diya varna ye aarzu thi ki bas teri aarzu karte"

"ai dil vo ashiqi ke fasane kidhar ga.e vo umr kya hui vo zamane kidhar ga.e"
