astiyan kuchh huin viran to matam kaisa
kuchh KHarabe bhi to aabaad hua karte hain
Aal-e-Ahmad Suroor
ana rakkhi hain diwaron pe taswiren parindon ki
wagarna hum to apne ghar ki virani se mar jaen
Afzal Khan
itni sari yaadon ke hote bhi jab dil mein
virani hoti hai to hairani hoti hai
Afzal Khan
asti basti parbat parbat wahshat ki hai dhup 'ziya'
chaaron jaanib virani hai dil ka ek virana kya
Ahmad Ziya
chaman mein rahne walon se to hum sahra-nashin achchhe
bahaar aa ke chali jati hai virani nahin jati
we desert dwellers have a stable state
compared to those that in gardens stay
Akhtar Shirani
dur tak dil mein dikhai nahin deta koi
aise virane mein ab kis ko sada di jae
Ali Ahmad Jalili
kis ne aabaad kiya hai mari virani ko
ishq ne? ishq to bimar paDa hai mujh mein
Anjum Saleemi
