couplets of several poets.. Tanha uthaa loon main bhi...

Tanha uthaa loon main bhi zaraa lutfe gumrahee. 
Ai rahnuma mujhe meri qismat pe chhod de .
-Himalayan Shaah

Let me enjoy alone being off the track. 
O Guide, let the  destiny back or sack. 

Thee kisee darmandaa rahee ki sada e dardnaak. 
Jis ko aawaaz e rahaane kaarvaan samjhaa thaa main. 
-Iqbaal

Tired passenger's anguished cry was what I took for. 
Blowing of a caravan's conch shell coming from afar. 

Barsaat ke aate hi tauba bhi meri tooti. 
Badali jo nazar aaye, badli meri niyat bhi.    
-Hasarat mohani.

With dark clouds, promise not to drink said goodbye.
My intentions got clouded as clouded got the sky.

Go dard hai seene men hoton pe hai tabassum.
Ik dars le raha hoon phoolon ki zindagi se.

With pain in heart, there is smile on lips.
From the life of a flower, I take vital tips. 

Jinse insaan ko pahunchtie hai hamesha takleef. 

Un ka daavaa hai ki wo asl khuda vaale hain. 

Those who hurt humans all 

the time.

Claim, they are close to God sublime.

भरे जहाँ में कोई मेरा यार था ही नहीं।

किसी नज़र को मेरा इंतज़ार था ही नहीं। 

........ क़तील शफ़ाई.....

In this world no one was my own. 

Never an eye had waited for me to own.

बदन तो ख़ुश हे कि उस पर हैं रेशमी कपड़े ।

ज़मीर चीख़ रहा है कि बिक गया हूँ मैं। 

Wearing silk, the body is happy, walks bold. 

Conscience is crying that it has been sold.
