Wo nahi milta mujhe is ka gila apni jagah
us ke mere darmiyan ka fasala apni jagah

dil ki mausam ke nikharane ke liye bechain hai
jam gai hai un ke hothon ke ghata apni jagah
zindagi ke is safar mein sainkadon chehare mile
dil-kashi un ke alag paikar tera apni jagah

tujh se mil kar aane wale kal se nafarat mol li
ab kabhi tujh se na bichadun ye dua apni jagah
kar kabhi tu mere dil ke khvahishon ka ehataram
khvahishon ke bheed aur un ke saza apni jagah
ik musalsal daud mein hai manzilen aur fasale
panv to apni jagah hain rasta apni jagah

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Iftikhar Imam Siddiqui

yahin ke thi mohabbat ke sabaq ke ibtada main ne
yahin ke jurrat-e-izhar-e-harf-e-mudd’a main ne
yahin dekhe the ishv-e-naz-o-andaz-e-haya main ne
yahin pahale suni thi dil dhadakane ke sada main ne
yahin kheton mein pani ke kinare yaad hai ab bhi
dilon mein izdaham-e-arazu lab band rehte the
nazar se guftagu hoti thi dam ulfat ka bharate the
na mathe par shikan hoti, na jab tevar badalate the
khuda bhi muskura deta tha jab hum pyar karte the
yahin kheton mein pani ke kinare yaad hai ab bhi
wo kya aata ke goya daur mein jam-e-sharab aata
wo kya aata rangili ragani rangin rabab aata
mujhe ranginiyon mein rangane wo rangin sahab aata
labon ke mein pilane jhumata mast-e-shabab aata
yahin kheton mein pani ke kinaro yaad hai ab bhi
haya ke bojh se jab har qadam par lagazishen hotin
fazan mein muntasar rangin badan ke larazishen hotin
rabab-e-dil ke taron mein musalasil jumbishen hotin
khifa-e-raz ke purlutf baham koshishen hotin
yahin kheton mein pani ke kinare yaad hai ab bhi
bala-e-fikr-e-farda hum se koson dur hoti thi
surur-e-sarmadi se zindagi mamur hoti thi
hamari khilwat-e-masum rashq-e-tur hoti thi
malak jhula jhulate the gazal-khwan hur hoti thi
yahin kheton mein pani ke kinare yaad hai ab bhi
na ab wo khet baqi hain na wo aab-e-rawan baqi
magar us aish-e-rafta ka hai ik dhundala nishan baqi

Poet of the Poem/Ghazal or Nazam: Makhdoom Mohiuddin

Yun saja chand ki jhalaka tere andaz ka rang
yun faza mahaki ki badala mere hamaraz ka rang
saya-e-chashm mein hairan rukh-e-raushan ka jamal
surkhi-e-lab pe pareshan teri aavaz ka rang
bepiye hon ki agar lutf karo aakhir-e-shab
shisha-e-may mein dhale subah ke aagaz ka rang
chango-nay rang pe the apne lahu ke dam se
dil ne lay badali to madham hua har saz ka rang
ik sukhan aur ki phir rang-e-takallum tera
harf-e-sada ko inayat kare ejaz ka rang

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Faiz Ahmed Faiz

Yaad kisi ke chandani ban kar kothe kothe utari hai
yaad kisi ke dhup hui hai zina zina utari hai
raat ke rani sahan-e-chaman mein gesu khole soti hai
rat-berat udhar mat jana ik nagin bhi rahati hai
tum ko kya tum gazalen kah kar apni aag bujha loge
us ke jee se pucho jo pathar ke tarah chup rahati hai
pathar lekar galiyon galiyon ladake pucha karte hain
har basti mein mujh se aage shoharat meri pahunchati hai
muddat se ik ladaki ke rukhsar ke dhup nahi aayi
isi liye mere kamare mein itni thandak rahati hai

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam :Bashir Badr

Yaad karana har ghadi us yar ka
hai vazifa mujh dil-e-bimar ka
aarazu-e-chashma-e-kausar nahi
tishnalab hun sharbat-e-didar ka
aakabat kya hovega malum nahi
dil hua hai mubtila dildar ka
kya kahe tarif dil hai benazir
harf harf us makhzan-e-israr ka
gar hua hai talib-e-azadagi
band mat ho subba-o-zunnar ka
masnad-e-gul manzil-e-shabanam hui
dekh rutba dida-e-bedar ka
ae “wali” ho na srijan par nisar
mudda’a hai chashm-e-gauhar bar ka

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Wali Mohammed Wali

Tum se ulfat ke taqaze na nibahe jate
warna hum ko bhi tamanna thi ke chahe jate
dil ke maro ka na kar gham ki ye andohnasib
zakhm bhi dil mein na hota to karahe jate
di na mohalat hamen hasti ne wafa ke warna
aur kuch din gam-e-hasti se nibahe jate

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Shan ul Haq Haqi

Yun teri rahaguzar se divanavar guzri
kandhe pe apne rakh ke apna mazar guzri
baithe rahe hain rasta mein dil ka khandhar saja kar
shayad isi taraf se ek din bahar guzri
bahati hui ye nadiya ghulate hue kinare
koi to par utre koi to par guzri
tu ne bhi hum ko dekha hum ne bhi tujh ko dekha
tu dil hi har guzra hum jan har guzri

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Meena Kumari ‘Naaz’

Yaad hain sare wo aish-e-bafaragat ke maze
dil abhi bhula nahi aagaz-e-ulfat ke maze

wo sarapa naz tha begana-e-rasm-e-jafa
aur mujhe hasil the lutf-e-benihayat ke maze

husn se apne wo gafil tha main apne ishq se
ab kahan se laun wo na-vaqfiyat ke maze

meri janib se nigah-e-shauq ke betabiyan
yar ke janib se aagaz-e-sharart ke maze
yaad hain wo husn-o-ulfat ke nirali shokhiyan
iltamas-e-uzr-o-tamahid-e-shikayat ke maze
sehaten lakhon meri bimari-e-gam par nisar
jis mein uthe barha un ke ayadat ke maze
