dekh kar kaali ghaTa ahl-e-qafas — Syed Basit Hussain Mahir Lakhnavi

hamen to yaad nahin koi lamha-e-ishrat
kabhi tumhin ne kisi din hansa diya hoga

— Syed Basit Hussain Mahir Lakhnavi

phirti hai to phir jaa.e badalti hai to badle
duniya ki nazar hai miri qismat to nahin hai

— Syed Basit Hussain Mahir Lakhnavi

dil ki har baat kah ga.e aansu
gir ke ankhon se rah ga.e aansu

— Syed Basit Hussain Mahir Lakhnavi

tark-e-ulfat se mohabbat ka likha miT na saka
vahi afsurdagi-e-sham-o-sahar aaj bhi hai

— Syed Basit Hussain Mahir Lakhnavi

kamar bandho muqaddar ke sahare baiThne vaalo
shikast-e-razm se rahon ka pech-o-kham na badlega
