Much as I wanted to send this out on Eid, I just couldn't 
do it. I hope you will enjoy these ashaar and also accept 
my apologies.

Probably the most well known sher on Eid, much favoured in films
and consequently so abused that people hesitate to use it nowadays:

'Eid' kaa din hai gale aaj to lag jaa zaalim 
rasm-e-duniyaa bhii hai mauqaa bhii hai dastuur bhii hai 


And here are the rest:
