Best couplets:

1. marane kii duaayen kyun maangen jeene ki tamannaa kaun kare 
ye duniyaa ho yaa vo duniyaa ab Khwaahish-e-duniyaa kaun kare 

2. jab kashti saabit-o-saalim thi, saahil ki tamannaa kisako thi 
ab aisii shikastaa kashti mein saahil ki tamannaa kaun kare 

3. ham dahar ke is veeraane mein jo kuchh bhi nazaaraa karate hain 
ashkon ki zabaan mein kahate hain aahon se ishaaraa karate hain
