I have always enjoyed Urdu poetry.
Some of my favorite Shairs(poets) are Ghalib, Jigar, Khumar, Faiz and Ahmad Faraz.

Some of my most favourite shairs are:

Ishq par zor nahi hai yai vo aatish ghalib
kai lagai naa lagi aur bujhai naa banai

Apni dunyaa aap paida kar agar zindon main hai
sirrai aadam hai zamire kunfakaan hai zindagi(IQBAL)

Yaqeen mohakam amal maiham muhabbat fathe aalam
jahade zindagani main hain yai mardon ki shamsheerain(IQBAL)

Ghalib is a genius. The ideas he represents in his poetry are very deep but unfortunately translations can not do justice to Ghalib.
My favorites are:
Yun to tujh bin nahin koi mojood
phir ye hangama aye khuda kia hai
and
dil hee to hai na sang o khisht dard sey bhar na aye kyoon
royein gey ham hazar baar koi hamain satae kyoon
Another nice one:
tere vaadey par jiye ham to ye jan jhoot jana
key khushee sey mar na jate agar aitbar hota

hai muhabbat hayat ki lazzat
varna kuch lazate hayat nahin
kaya ijazat hai aik baat kahon
vo—magar khair koi baat nahin

tum mairaa naam kyon nahin laitin JON AILYA

Wah Wah Jon Elia
kisi libaas ki khushboo jab ud ke aati hai
tere badan ki judaii bahut satati hai
tera bagair mujhe chain kaise padta hai
mere bagair tujhe neend kaise aati hai

minnatein hain khyaal ki tere
khoob guzri tere khyaal ke sath
maine ek zindagi basar kar dee
tere naa-deeda khatt-o-khaal ke saaath

saari aql-o-hosh ki aashaiyein
tumne saanchein mein junoon mein dhaal deein
kar lia tha maine ahd-e-tark-e-ishq
tumne phir baahein gale mein daal deein

dil mein jinka nishaan bhi na raha
kyun na chehroN pe ab wo rang khilein
ab to khaali hai rooh jazboN se
ab bhi kya ham tapaak se na milein

mere aur uske darmiyaan ab to
sirf ek roo ba roo ka rishta hai
haaye wo rishta, haaye khamoshi
ab faqat guftagoo ka rishta hai

Khumar mujai bhi bahut pasand hain.Mundarja shair mulahzaa farmain:

ab aansoo sanbhalte nahin hain hamare
tumhari amaanat tumare hawale

qamayat hi main phir mulaqat hogi
abhi waqt hai lot aajane wale

abhi khud mujhae shak hai apni wafaa par
abhi aur kuch din mujhai aazamalai

khumar ab yakhalus bhi apna badaldo
bane ho jo maikash se allah wale

Mohammed Iqbal ki yaad mein
aataa hai yaad mujhako guzaraa huaa zamaanaa

aazaadiyaa.N kahaa.N vo ab apane gho.Nsale kii

lagatii ho choT dil par, aataa hai yaad jis dam
shabanam ke aa.Nsuuo.n par kaliyo.n kaa muskuraanaa

vo pyaarii pyaarii surat, vo kaamiinii sii muurat
aabaad jis ke dam se thaa meraa aashiyaanaa

Sadequain on Amroha:
Rukhsara-i-Gaiti Pe Sajil Amroha
Amroha ke Logon ka Hai Dil Amroha
Dilli hai Agar Aab tu Gil Amroha
Lucknau jo Bindi tu Til Amroha
Amroha Pe Do Shehar-i-Dil Ara Bakhshoon
Bas Ho Tu Samarqand-o-Bukhara Bakhshoon
