na-umidi maut se kahti hai apna kaam kar
aas kahti hai Thahar KHat ka jawab aane ko hai
Fani Badayuni
tark-e-ummid bas ki baat nahin
warna ummid kab bar aai hai
Fani Badayuni
na koi wada na koi yaqin na koi umid
magar hamein to tera intizar karna tha
no promise,surety, nor any hope was due
yet I had little choice but to wait for you
Firaq Gorakhpuri
isi ummid par to ji rahe hain hijr ke mare
kabhi to ruKH se uTThegi naqab aahista aahista
Hashim Ali Khan Dilazak
phir meri aas baDha kar mujhe mayus na kar
hasil-e-gham ko KHuda-ra gham-e-hasil na bana
Himayat Ali Shayar
ek charagh aur ek kitab aur ek ummid asasa
us ke baad to jo kuchh hai wo sab afsana hai
Iftikhar Arif
umid-o-bim ke mehwar se haT ke dekhte hain
zara si der ko duniya se kaT ke dekhte hain
