itnī miltī hai mirī ġhazloñ se sūrat terī

log tujh ko mirā mahbūb samajhte hoñge

itni milti hai meri ghazlon se surat teri

log tujh ko mera mahbub samajhte honge

Bashir Badr

le mere tajraboñ se sabaq ai mire raqīb

do-chār saal umr meñ tujh se baḌā huuñ maiñ

le mere tajrabon se sabaq ai mere raqib

do-chaar sal umr mein tujh se baDa hun main

Qateel Shifai

un ke ruḳhsār pe Dhalke hue aañsū tauba

maiñ ne shabnam ko bhī sho.aloñ pe machalte dekhā

un ke ruKHsar pe Dhalke hue aansu tauba

main ne shabnam ko bhi shoalon pe machalte dekha

Sahir Ludhianvi

vo kyā manzil jahāñ se rāste aage nikal jaa.eñ

so ab phir ik safar kā silsila karnā paḌegā

wo kya manzil jahan se raste aage nikal jaen

so ab phir ek safar ka silsila karna paDega

Iftikhar Arif

zindagī kyā kisī muflis kī qabā hai jis meñ

har ghaḌī dard ke paivand lage jaate haiñ

zindagi kya kisi muflis ki qaba hai jis mein

har ghaDi dard ke paiwand lage jate hain

Shariq Kaifi

Shariq Kaifi

1961

Highly acclaimed senior Urdu poet, admired for both his Ghazal and Nazm. His poetry, though seemingly simple in expression, reflects profound observation and meticulous artistry.

ik din ḳhud ko apne paas biThāyā ham ne

pahle yaar banāyā phir samjhāyā ham ne

ek din KHud ko apne pas biThaya hum ne

pahle yar banaya phir samjhaya hum ne
