tujh se kis tarah main izhaar-e-tamanna karta
lafz sujha to maani ne baghawat kar di
Ahmad Nadeem Qasmi
ishq ke izhaar mein har-chand ruswai to hai
par karun kya ab tabiat aap par aai to hai

apni sari kawishon ko raegan main ne kiya
mere andar jo na tha us ko bayan main ne kiya
Azad Gulati
zaban dil ki haqiqat ko kya bayan karti
kisi ka haal kisi se kaha nahin jata
Aziz Lakhnavi
haal-e-dil kyun kar karen apna bayan achchhi tarah
ru-ba-ru un ke nahin chalti zaban achchhi tarah
Bahadur Shah Zafar
kya bala thi ada-e-pursish-e-yar
mujh se izhaar-e-muddaa na hua
Fani Badayuni
muddaa izhaar se khulta nahin hai
ye zaban-e-be-zabani aur hai
