There are many poignant poems but if you put it in context, following two are probably not only the most famous but the fact that they were penned by Bahadur Shah Zafar, the last of the Mogul Emperor, who was a prolific poet, who eventually died a very old man, in Rangoon, Burma, imprisoned by British..

na kisii kii aa.Nkh kaa nuur huu.N, na kisii ke dil kaa qaraar huu.N
jo kisii ke kaam na aa sake mai.n vo ek musht-e-Gubaar huu.N

na to mai.n kisii kaa habiib huu.N, na to mai.n kisii kaa raqiib huu.N
jo biga.D gayaa vo nasiib huu.N, jo uja.D gayaa vo dayaar huu.N

meraa rang-ruup biga.D gayaa, meraa yaar mujhase bichha.D gayaa
jo chaman fizaa.N me.n uja.D gayaa, mai.n usii kii fasl-e-bahaar huu.N

pae faatehaa koii aaye kyuu.N, koii chaar phuul cha.Daaye kyuu.N
koii aake shammaa jalaaye kyuu.N mai.n vo bekasii kaa mazaar huu.N

mai.n nahii.n huu.N jaa.N-fizaa.N mujhe sunake koii karegaa kyaa
mai.n ba.De barog kii huu.N sadaa main ba.De dukh kii pukaar huu.N
