tujhe bhi dekh liya ham ne o khuda-e-ajal — Jafar Tahir

"ai vatan jab bhi sar-e-dasht koi phuul khila dekh kar tere shahidon ki nishani roya"

"aapas ki guftugu men bhi kaTne lagi zaban ab doston se tark-e-mulaqat chahiye"

"'tahir' khuda ki raah men dushvariyan sahi ishq-e-butan men kaun si asaniyan rahin"

"uTThi thi pahli baar jidhar chashm-e-arzu vo log phir mile na vo basti nazar paDi"

"jab bhi dekhi hai kisi chehre pe ik taaza bahar dekh kar main tiri tasvir purani roya"

"ik umr bhaTakte hue guzri hai junun men ab kaun fareb-e-nigah-e-yar men aa.e"
