puchho na araq ruKHsaron se rangini-e-husn ko baDhne do
sunte hain ki shabnam ke qatre phulon ko nikhaara karte hain
wipe not the droplets from your face, let beauty's lustre grow
drops of dew when flowers grace, enhance their freshness so
Qamar Jalalvi
tere qurban 'qamar' munh sar-e-gulzar na khol
sadqe us chand si surat pe na ho jae bahaa
Qamar Jalalvi
uf wo marmar se tarasha hua shaffaf badan
dekhne wale use taj-mahal kahte hain
Qateel Shifai
aaina dekh ke kahte hain sanwarne wale
aaj be-maut marenge mere marne wale
on seeing her own reflection she is moved to say
ere their time, my paramours shall perish this day
Rasheed Rampuri
koh sangin haqaeq tha jahan
husn ka KHwab tarasha hum ne
Ravish Siddiqi
chandni raaton mein chillata phira
chand si jis ne wo surat dekh li
Rind Lakhnavi
kashmir ki wadi mein be-parda jo nikle ho
kya aag lagaoge barfili chaTanon mein
Saghar Azmi
