lab-e-nigar ko zahmat na do khuda ke liye — 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"

"aaj kisi ne baton baton men jab un ka naam liya dil ne jaise Thokar khaa.i dard ne baDh kar thaam liya"

"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"
