Dair-o-haram hai gard-e-raah - ‘Firaq’ Gorakhpuri

Aah wo manzil-e-muraad, door bhi hai qareeb bhi

Der hui ki kaafiley uski taraf rawaan nahin

Dair-o-haram hai gard-e-raah, naksh-e-qadam hai mehr-o-maah

In mein koi bhi ishq ki manzil-e-kaarwaan nahin

~ ‘Firaq’ Gorakhpuri

Jo hain aashna sir’re asraar ke - Hazrat Shah Niyaz Ahmed R.A.

Jo hain aashna sir’re asraar ke 

Wo hain yaar har yaar-o-aghyaar ke 

Andhera ujaala, nihaan aur ayaan

Ye jalwe hain sab jalwa-e-yaar ke

Bahaar-o-khizaan hum pe hai eksaan

Kabhi yaar-e-ghul hain kabhi khaar ke

Idhar ki nahin jaante rasm-o-raah

Miyan hum to baashinda hain paar ke 

Kahaan se kahaan le ke panhucha ye dil

Malaayak jahaan se rahye haar ke

Nahin Qais-o-Farhaad sa main ‘Niyaz’

Ke hon gard-e-sahra–o-kohsaar ke 

~ Hazrat Shah Niyaz Ahmed R.A.

Tumhari beniyazi ka tamaasha hum bhi dekhenge - Hazrat Shah Muhammad Taqi 'Raaz' Niyazi

Tumhari beniyazi ka tamaasha hum bhi dekhenge,

Ye aalam kis tarah hota hai ruswa hum bhi dekhenge;

Kisi din to tumhare aastane se karam hoga,

Kisi din to kamaal-e-zauq-e-sajda hum bhi dekhenge;

Shakista paa hain lekin badh rahe hain jaanib-e-manzil,

Kisi surat to ummeedon ka sahaara hum bhi dekhenge;

Azal ke din jo dikhlaaya tha terey lutf-e-paiham ne,

Wahi naqsha wahi jalwa khudaara hum bhi dekhenge;

Zaraa aye ‘Raaz’ uthne do nigaahe banda-parwar ko

Khud apne raaz ko aalam mein afshaan hum bhi dekheinge 

~ Az Hazrat Imam-us-Salekeen Shah Muhammad Taqi ‘Raaz’ Niyazi R.A.

Aah ko dard chaahiye, naghme ko saaz chaahiye - Hazrat Shah Muhammad Taqi “Raaz” Niyazi R.A.

Aah ko dard chaahiye, naghme ko saaz chaahiye

Raaz ka maajra hai ye Raaz ko Raaz chaahiye

Hijr ki lazzaton mein gum hai saari kaaynaat

Mujhko to har sahar ke baad shaam-e-daraaz chaahiye

Kya merey zauq-e-bandagi, chaahiye koi aastaan

Kya meri aarzoo-e-deed jalwa taraaz chaahiye

Zauq-e-sujood kya karey,Naat-o-Durood kya karey

Maarfat-e-Habeeb ko qalb-e-gudaaz chaahiye

Yaani ke ho niyaaz-e-ishq, naghma-e-soz-o-saaz-e-ishq

Jo ho kisi ka raaz-e-ishq, ‘Raaz’ wo raaz chaahiye !!!!!

~ Az Hazrat 'Imam-us-Salekeen' Shah Muhammad Taqi urf Aziz Miyan “Raaz” Niyazi R.A.

Soch kar jurm-e-muhabbat ki sazaa do hum ko - Ehsan Danish

Na siyo honth, na khwabon mein sadaa do hum ko

Maslehat ka ye takaaza hai, bhula do hum ko

Hum hakeekat hain to tasleem na karne ka sabab

Haan agar harf-e-ghalat hain to mita do hum ko

Shorish-e-ishq mein, husn baraabar hai shareek

Soch kar jurm-e-muhabbat ki sazaa do hum ko

Maqsad-e-jeest gham-e-ishq sahra ho ke shaher

Baith jaaeinge jahaan chaaho bitha do hum ko

~ Ehsan Danish

Duniya bhula chukaa hoon tumhare khayaal mein - Hazrat Behzad Lakhnawi

Ab hai khushi khusi mein na gham hai malaal mein

Duniya se kho gaya hoon tumhaare khayaal mein

Mujh ko na apna hosh na suniya ka hosh hai

Nast ho ke baitha hoon tumhare khayaal mein

Taron se pooch lo meri rudaad-e-zindagi

Raton ko jaagta hoon tumhaare khayaal mein

Duniya ko ilm kya hai jamaane ko kya khabar

Duniya bhula chukaa hoon tumhare khayaal mein

Duniya khadi hai muntazir-e-nagma-e-alam

‘Behzad’ chup khade hain kisi ke khayal mein

~ Hazrat Behzad Lakhnawi
