aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
Great Urdu poet occupying a place of pride in world literature. Also one of the most quotable poets having shers for almost all situations of life.
daa.im paḌā huā tire dar par nahīñ huuñ maiñ
ḳhaak aisī zindagī pe ki patthar nahīñ huuñ maiñ
I do not lie embedded, ensconced upon your door
I am not merely a stone, such life I do abhor

KHak aisi zindagi pe ki patthar nahin hun main

I am not merely a stone, such life I do abhor
