1/11: lab
hum teri yaad se katra-ke
nikal jaate magar
raah mein phoolon ke lab
sayoon ke gesu aaye
i'd have avoided
your memory and moved on
along the way i came across
lips of flowers, tresses of breezes
Theme:Love, Passion and Longing (88)

ye samajh ke maana hai sach
tumhaari baaton ko
itne khoobsoorat lab
jhooT kaise bolenge
thinking this i
believed all that you said
how can such beautiful
tell any lies?

3/11: lab
lab kuchh bhi kahen
is se haqeeqat naheen khulti
insaan ke sach jhoot
ki pehchaan hain aankhen
no matter what the lips say
the reality is not revealed
the eyes are the real markers
of truth and lies

4/11: lab
ham ne us ke lab-o-rukhsaar ko
chhu kar dekha
hausle aag ko
gulzaar bana dete hain
i touched her lips and cheeks
to realize
courage can turn fire
into a garden of flowers

5/11: lab
jahaan mein hone ko, ai dost
yuun to sab hoga
tere labon pe mere lab hon
aisa kab hoga
in this world, my beloved,
everything can happen
but my lips on yours
when will that happen?
Shahryaar

6/11: lab
yeh maana haath mein saagar hai
lekin kya bharosa hai
hazaaron lagzisheen hayal hain
lab tak jaam aane mein
yes, there is an ocean in my hand
but there is no assurance
so many wounds in my thoughts
before the cup reaches the lip
Theme:Life, Living & Dying (104)
7/11: lab
yan lab pe lakh lakh
sukhan iztiraab mein
wan ek khaamoshi teri
sab ke jawaab mein
millions of words
in turmoil on my lip
and your reply for them all
is just silence
Theme:Voice, Expression & Language (61)
8/11: lab
us lab se mil hi jaayega
bosa kabhi to haan
shauq-e-fuzool-o-
jurat-e-rindaana chaahiye
from those lips, am sure
to get a kiss one day
just needs pointless passion
and careless courage
Mirza Ghalib

nishaan-e-mard-e-momin
ba too goyam
choon marg aayad
tabassum bar lab-e-ost
what is the sign
of a man of faith?
when death comes,
has a smile on his lips
Mohammed Iqbal
(18)Theme:Life, Living & Dying (104)
10/11: lab
seena-e-ney pe
jo guzarti hai
wo lab-e-ney
nawaaz kya jaane
that passes through
the heart of the flute
what do the lips
the caress it know?
Theme:Voice, Expression & Language (61)
11/11: lab
seene ka daagh hai woh naala
ke lab tak na gaya
khaak ka rizq hai woh qatra
ke dariya na hua
it remains a scar on the heart
the lament that didn’t reach the lips
it remains a part of the dust
the drop that doesn’t become the river
Mirza Ghalib
(60)Theme:Loneliness, Solitude & Grief (92)
