yak qadam rah-e-dost hai 'da.ud' — Mirza Daood Beg

"tujh hijr ki agan kuun bujhane ai sang dil koi ab-zan-rafiq ba-juz chashm-e-tar nahin"

"saaf dil ho gar hai tujh kuun khvahish-e-tark-e-hava ab-e-a.ina upar aata nahin hargiz habab"

"shisha-e-abru sambhal ai dil daur ulTa chala hai duniya ka"

"sun nasihat miri ai zahid-e-khushk ashk ke aab bin vuzu mat kar"

"piv bina dil mira udasi hai gaah jogi hai gaah sanyasi hai"

"'vali' saani nahin da.ud lekin ghazal kahta hai har ik ba-talazum"
