ab to har ek adakar se Dar lagta hai
mujh ko dushman se nahin yar se Dar lagta hai
Afzal Allahabadi

hum nahin honge to teri rahguzar dekhega kaun
Afzal Allahabadi
ghamon ki dhup mein milte hain saeban ban kar
zamin pe rahte hain kuchh log aasman ban ka
Afzal Allahabadi
har naghma-e-pur-dard har ek saz se pahle
hangama bapa hota hai aaghaz se pahle
Afzal Allahabadi
ho nahin pati shairi 'afzal'
nazr jab tak lahu nahin karta
Afzal Allahabadi
