Majrooh Sultanpuri Shayari

Main akela hi chala tha jaanib-e-manzil magar,
Log saath aate gaye, aur kaarvan banta gaya.

—

Koi hamdam na raha, koi sahara na raha,
Hum kisi ke na rahe, koi hamara na raha.

—

Shab-e-intezaar ki kashmakash mein na pooch kaise sahar hui,
Kabhi ik charagh jala diya, kabhi ik charagh bujha diya.

—

Jafa ke zikr pe tum kyun sambhal ke baith gaye,
Tumhari baat nahi, baat hai zamane ki.

—

Gham-e-hayat ne aawara kar diya varna,
Thi arzoo ki tere dar pe subah o shaam karein.
