aaj kisi ne baton baton men jab un ka naam liya — Ghulam Rabbani Taban

"main ne kab da.ava-e-ilham kiya hai 'taban' likh diya karta huun jo dil pe guzarti jaa.e"

"rah-e-talab men kise arzu-e-manzil hai shu.ur ho to safar khud safar ka hasil hai"

"ye chaar din ki rifaqat bhi kam nahin ai dost tamam umr bhala kaun saath deta hai"

"lab-e-nigar ko zahmat na do khuda ke liye ham ahl-e-shauq zaban-e-nazar samajhte hain"

"ghubar-e-rah chala saath ye bhi kya kam hai safar men aur koi ham-safar mile na mile"

"chhaTe ghubar-e-nazar bam-e-tur aa jaa.e piyo sharab ki chehre pe nuur aa jaa.e"
