koi ai 'shakil' puchhe ye junun nahin to kya hai
ki usi ke ho gae hum jo na ho saka hamara

But for madness what is this, can anyone divine?
I am hers forevermore, who never can be mine

Shakeel Badayuni

yun to har sham umidon mein guzar jati hai
aaj kuchh baat hai jo sham pe rona aaya

Every evening was, by hope, sustained
This evening's desperation makes me weep

Shakeel Badayuni
