raz-e-gham-e-ulfat ko ye duniya na samajh le — Ali Zaheer Rizvi Lakhnavi

"zara parda haTa do samne se bijliyan chamken mira dil jalva-gah-e-tur ban jaa.e to achchha ho"

"mira khun-e-jigar pur-nur ban jaa.e to achchha ho tumhari maang ka sindur ban jaane to achchha ho"

"kaan sunte to hain lekin na samajhne ke liye koi samjha bhi to mafhum naya mange hai"

"nafrat se mohabbat ko sahare bhi mile hain tufan ke daman men kinare bhi mile hain"

"hamari zindagi kya hai mohabbat hi mohabbat hai tumhara bhi yahi dastur ban jaa.e to achchha ho"

"vo to tha aadmi ki tarah 'zahir' us ka chehra farishton jaisa tha"
