Top 10 couplets of Qaisarul Jafri

tumhāre shahr kā mausam baḌā suhānā lage

maiñ ek shaam churā luuñ agar burā na lage

tumhaare shahr ka mausam baDa suhana lage

main ek sham chura lun agar bura na lage

ghar lauT ke ro.eñge maañ baap akele meñ

miTTī ke khilaune bhī saste na the mele meñ

ghar lauT ke roenge man bap akele mein

miTTi ke khilaune bhi saste na the mele mein

zindagī bhar ke liye ruuTh ke jaane vaale

maiñ abhī tak tirī tasvīr liye baiThā huuñ

zindagi bhar ke liye ruTh ke jaane wale

main abhi tak teri taswir liye baiTha hun

havā ḳhafā thī magar itnī sañg-dil bhī na thī

hamīñ ko sham.a jalāne kā hausla na huā

hawa KHafa thi magar itni sang-dil bhi na thi

hamin ko shama jalane ka hausla na hua

dīvāroñ se mil kar ronā achchhā lagtā hai

ham bhī pāgal ho jā.eñge aisā lagtā hai

diwaron se mil kar rona achchha lagta hai

hum bhi pagal ho jaenge aisa lagta hai

tū is tarah se mire saath bevafā.ī kar

ki tere ba.ad mujhe koī bevafā na lage

tu is tarah se mere sath bewafai kar

ki tere baad mujhe koi bewafa na lage

ye vaqt band darīchoñ pe likh gayā 'qaisar'

maiñ jā rahā huuñ mirā intizār mat karnā

ye waqt band darichon pe likh gaya 'qaisar'

main ja raha hun mera intizar mat karna

sāvan ek mahīne 'qaisar' aañsū jīvan bhar

in āñkhoñ ke aage bādal be-auqāt lage

sawan ek mahine 'qaisar' aansu jiwan bhar

in aankhon ke aage baadal be-auqat lage

maiñ zahr piitā rahā zindagī ke hāthoñ se

ye aur baat hai merā badan harā na huā

main zahr pita raha zindagi ke hathon se

ye aur baat hai mera badan hara na hua

rakkhī na zindagī ne mirī muflisī kī sharm

chādar banā ke raah meñ phailā ga.ī mujhe

rakkhi na zindagi ne meri muflisi ki sharm

chadar bana ke rah mein phaila gai mujhe
