chand sitaron se kya puchun kab din mere phirate hain
wo to bechare khud hain bhikari dere dere phirate hain

jin galiyon mai hum ne sukh ke sej pe raten kati thin
un galiyon mai vyakul hokar sanjh savere phirate hain

rup-sarup ke jot jagana is nagari mai jokhim hai
charon khunt bagule ban kar ghor andhere phirate hain

jin ke sham-badan saye mai mera man sustaya tha
ab tak aankhon ke aage wo bal ghanere phirate hain

koi hamen bhi ye samajha do un par dil kyon rijh gaya
tikhi chitavan banki chab vale bahutere phirate hain

is nagari mai bag aur ban ke yaro lila nyari hai
panchi apne sar pe uthakar apne basere phirate hain

log to daman si lete hain jaise ho jee lete hain
‘abid’ hum divane hain jo bal bikhere phirate hain

Poet of the poem/ghazal or nazam : Abid Ali Abid

chand se phul se ya meri zuban se suniye
har taraf aap ka qisa jahan se suniye

sab ko aata hai duniya ko sata kar jina
zindagi kya muhabbat ke dua se suniye

meri aavaz parda mere chehare ka
main hun khamosh jahan mujhako vahan se suniye

kya zaruri hai ki har parda uthaya jaye
mere halat apne apne makan se suniye

Poet of the poem/ghazal or nazam : Nida Fazli

kisane wada kiya hai aane ka
husn dekho garib khane ka

ruh ko aaina dikhate hain
dar-o-divar muskurate hain

aj ghar, ghar bana hai pahali bar
dil mein hai khush saliqagi bedar

jama saman hai aish-o-ishrat ka
khauf dil mein fareb-e-qismet ka

soz-e-qalb-e-kalim aankon mein
ashk-e-ummid-o-bim aankhon mein

chashm-bar-rah-e-shauq ke mare
chand ke intazar mein tare

Poet of the poem/ghazal or nazam : Josh Malihabadi

ajib tajurba tha bhid se guzarane ka
use bahana mila mujh se bat karane ka

phir ek mauj use khinch le gai tah-e-ab
tamasha khatm hua dubane ubharane ka

mujhe khabar hai ki rasta mazar chahata hai
main khastapa sahi lekin nahi thaharane ka

thama ke ek bikharata gulab mere hath
tamasha dekh raha hai wo mere darane ka

ye aasman mein siyahi bikher di kis ne
hamen tha shauq bahut is mein rang bharane ka

bas ek chikh giri thi pahad se yakalakht
ajab nazar tha phir dhundh ke bikharane ka

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Hari Manchanda ‘Bani

chahiye achchon ko jitana chahiye

chahiye achchon ko jitana chahiye
ye agar chahen to phir kya chahiye

sohabat-e-rinda se vajib hai hazar
ja-e-mai apne ko khencha chahiye

chahane ko tere kya samajha tha dil
bare ab is se bhi samajha chahiye

chak mat kar jeb be ayyam-e-gul
kuch udhar ka bhi ishara chahiye

dosti ka parda hai beganagi
munh chupana hum se choda chahiye

dushmani mein meri khoya gair ko
kis qadar dushman hai dekha chahiye

apani rusvai mein kya chalati hai sai
yar hi hangama aara chahiye

munhasir marane pe ho jis ke umid
naumidi us ke dekha chahiye

gafil in mah talaaton ke vaste
chahane vala bhi achcha chahiye

chahate hain khubaruon ko asad
aap ke surat to dekha chahiye

Poet of the poem/ghazal or nazam : Mirza Ghalib

chahat ka ek mitha mitha dard jagane sham dhale
teri yaden aa jati hain mujhako rulane sham dhale

teri zulfen in kandhon par tera chehara hathon mein
main ne bhi dekhe hain kitane khvab suhane sham dhale

har din hum se wada karake yun hi agar tadapaoge
ik din yun hi ho jayenge hum bhi divane sham dhale

din ke ujale mein to mana lun lakh yatan se bahala lun
lekin dil ka pagal panchi ek na mane sham dhale

Poet of the poem/ghazal or nazam : Hasan Imam

Chahat Ki Raah Me Bhikre Armaan Bhut Hai
Hum Uski Yaad Me Pareshan Bhut Hai
Woh Har Baar Dil Todta Hai Ye Kah Kr
Meri Ummedon K Duniya Me Abi Mukaam Bahut Ha

Pagal Huye Jo Hum To Ulfat Usy B Thi
Chaha Jo Hm Ne Us Ko To Chahat Usay B Thi
Usko Na Bhol Payengay Wo Janta Tha
Or Har Baat Bhol Jane Ki Adat Usay B Thi.
