Ye haqiqat hai ki hota hai asar baton mein
tum bhi khul jaoge do char mulaqaton mein
tum se sadiyonki vafaon ka koi nata na tha
tum se milane ke lakiren thi mere hathon mein
tere vadon ne hamen ghar se nikalne na diya
log mausam ka maza le gaye barasaton mein
ab na suraj na sitare na shaman na chand
apne zakhmon ka ujala hai ghani raton mein

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Saeed Rahi

Ye bhi kya ehsaan kam hain dekhiye na aap ka
ho raha hai har taraf charcha hamara aap ka
chand mein to daag hai par aap mein wo bhi nahi
chaudhavi ke chand se bad kar hai chehara aap ka
ishq mein aise bhi hum dube hue hain aap ke
apne chehare pe sada hota hain dhoka aap ka
chand suraj dhup subah kahkashan tare shama
har ujale ne churaya hai ujala aap ka

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Wajida Tabassum

Wo koi aur na tha chand khushk patte the
shajar se toot ke jo fasl-e-gul pe roye the

abhi abhi tumhen socha to kuch na yaad aaya
abhi abhi to hum ek-dusare se bichde the
tumhare bad chaman par jab ik nazar dali
kali kali mein khizan ke chirag jalate the
tamam umr wafa ke gunahgar rahe
ye aur baat ki hum aadmi to ache the
shab-e-khamosh ko tanhai ne zaban de di
pahad gunjate the dasht sansanate the

wo ek bar mare jin ko tha hayat se pyar
jo zindagi se gurezan the roz marate the

naye khayal ab aate hain dhal ke zahan mein
hamare dil mein kabhi khet lahlahate the

ye iratiqa ka chalan hai ki har zamane mein
purane log naye aadmi se darate the

‘nadeem’ jo bhi mulaqat thi adhuri thi
ki ek chehare ke piche hazar chehare the

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Ahmed Nadeem Qasmi

Sham ko subah-e-chaman yaad aayi
kis ke khushbu-e-badan yaad aayi
jab khayalon mein koi mod aaya
tere gesu ke shikan yaad aayi
yaad aaye tere paikar ke khatoot
apni kotahi-e-fan yaad aayi
chand jab dur ufaq par duba
tere lahaje ke thakan yaad aayi
din shuaon se ulajhate guzra
raat aayi to kiran yaad aayi

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Ahmed Nadeem Qasmi

Tere hote hue mahafil mein jalate hain chirag
log kya sada hain suraj ko dikhate hain chirag
apni maharumiyon pe sharminda hain
khud nahi rakhte to auron ke bujhate hain chirag
bastiyan chand sitaron pe basane wale
kurra-e-arz bujhate jate hain chirag
kya khabar hai un ko ke daman bhi bhadak uthate hain
jo zamane ke hawaon se bachate hain chirag
aisi tarikiyan aankhon mein basi hain ‘faraz’
raat to raat hum din ko jalate hain chirag

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Ahmed Faraz

Zindagi se badi saza hi nahi
aur kya jurm hai pata hi nahi
itane hisson mein baat gaya hun main
mere hisse mein kuch bacha hi nahi
sach ghate ya bade to sach na rahe
jhooth ke koi inteha hi nahi
jad do chandi mein chahe sone mein
aaina jhooth bolata hi nahi

Poet  of  the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam :Krishan Bihari Noor

Pura dukh aur aadha chand
hijr ke shab aur aisa chand

itane ghane badal ke piche
kitna tanha hoga chand

meri karavat par jag uthe
neend ka kitna kacha chand
sehra sehra bhatak raha hai
apne ishq mein sacha chand

raat ke shayad ek baje hain
sota hoga mera chand

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Parveen Shakir

samane hai jo use log bura kahate hain
jisako dekha hi nahi usako khuda kahate hain
zindagi ko bhi sila kahate hain kahanevale
jinevale to gunahon ke saza kahate hain
fasale umr ke kuch aur bada deti hai
jane q log use phir bhi dawa kahate hain
chand masum se patton ka lahu hai “fakir”
jisako mahbub ke hathon ke hina kahate hain

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Sudarshan Faakir
