dushmani lakh sahi KHatm na kije rishta
dil mile ya na mile hath milate rahiye
enmity however strong, the contact never break
hearts and minds may be apart, the hands must ever shake
Nida Fazli
ghar se masjid hai bahut dur chalo yun kar len
kisi rote hue bachche ko hansaya jae
the mosques too far so for a while
some weeping child, let us make smile
Nida Fazli
angDai bhi wo lene na pae uTha ke hath
dekha jo mujh ko chhoD diye muskura ke hath
she couldn't even stretch out with her arms upraised
seeing me she smiled and composed herself all fazed
Nizam Rampuri
andaz apna dekhte hain aaine mein wo
aur ye bhi dekhte hain koi dekhta na ho
looking in the mirror she sees her savoir-faire
and also looks to see no one is peeping there

KHuda ke Dar se hum tum ko KHuda to kah nahin sakte
magar lutf-e-KHuda qahr-e-KHuda shan-e-KHuda tum ho
For fear of God, to you cannot, ascribe divinity
but joy divine, wrath divine, glory divine you be
Nooh Narvi
ab bhi barsat ki raaton mein badan TuTta hai
jag uThti hain ajab KHwahishen angDai ki
Till even now in rainy climes, my limbs are aching, sore
The yen to stretch out languidly then comes to the fore
Parveen Shakir
kaise kah dun ki mujhe chhoD diya hai us ne
baat to sach hai magar baat hai ruswai ki
How can I say that I have been deserted by my beau
Its true but this will cause me to be shamed for evermore
Parveen Shakir
