Teri mahafil se uthakar ishq ke maron pe kya guzri
mukhalif ik jahan tha jane becharon pe kya guzri
sahar ko rukhsat-e-bimar-e-furqat dekhane valo
kisi ne ye bhi dekha raat bhar taron pe kya guzri
suna hai zindagi viraniyon ne lut li milakar
na jane zindagi ke nazbaradaron pe kya guzri
hansi aayi to hai bekaif si lekin khuda jane
mujhe masarur pakar mere gamkhvaron pe kya guzri
asir-e-gam to jan dekar rihai pa gaya lekin
kisi ko kya khabar zindan ke deewaron pe kya guzri

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Shakeel Badayuni

Teri duniya mein ya rab zist ke saman jalate hain
fareb-e-zindagi ke aag mein insan jalate hain
dilon mein azamat-e-tauhid ke dipak fasurda hain
jabinon par riya-o-kubr ke saman jalate hain
havas ke barayabi hai khirad-mandon ke mahafil mein
rupahali tikaliyon ke ot mein iman jalate hain
havadis raqs-farma hain qayamat muskurati hai
suna hai nakhuda ke naam se tufan jalate hain
shagufe jhulate hain is chaman mein bhuk ke jhule
baharon mein nasheman to bahar-e-unavan jalatae hain
kaheen aazeb ke chan-chan mein majboori tadapati hai
riya dam tod deti hai sunehre dan jalate hain
manao jashn-e-may-noshi bikharao zulf-e-mayakhana
ibadat se to “sagar” dahar ke shaitan jalate hain

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Sagar Siddiqui

Tere pas aane ko jee chahata hai
naye zakhm khane ko jee chahata hai
idhar aaye shayad wo mauj-e-tarannum
gazal gungunane ko jee chahata hai
zamana mera aazamaya hua hai
tujhe aazamane ko jee chahata hai
wohi baat reh reh ke yaad aa rahi hai
jise bhool jane ko jee chahata hai
labon par mere khelata hai tabassum
jab aansu bahane ko jee chahata hai
kai martaba dil pe bijli giri hai
magar muskurane ko jee chahata hai
takalluf na kar aj barq-e-tajalli
nasheman jalne ko jee chahata hai
rukh-e-zindagi se naqaben ulat kar
haqiqat dikhane ko jee chahata hai

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Sikander Ali Wajd

Sakut-e-sham mitao bahut andhera hai
sukhan ke shama jalao bahut andhera hai
dayar-e-gam mein dil-e-beqarar chut gaya
sambhal ke dhudhane jao bahut andhera hai
ye raat wo ke sujhe jahan na hath ko hath
khayalo dur na jao bahut andhera hai
laton ko chehare pe dale wo so raha hai kaheen
zaya-e-rukh ko churao bahut andhera hai

havayen nim shabi hon ki chadar-e-anjum
naq aab rukh se uthao bahut andhera hai

shab-e-siyah mein gum ho gai hai rah-e-hayat
qadam sambhal ke uthao bahut andhera hai
guzashta ahd ke yadon ko phir karo taza
bujhe chirag jalao nahut andhera hai

thi ek uchakati hui neend zindagi usaki
‘firaq’ ko na jagao bahut andhera hai

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Firaq Gorakhpuri

Zindagi mein to sabhi pyar kiya karte hain
main to mar kar bhi meri jan tujhe chahunga
tu mila hai to ye ehasas hua hai mujhko
ye meri umr mohabbat ke liye thodi hai
ik zara sa gam-e-dauran ka bhi haq hai jis par
main ne wo sans bhi tere liye rakh chodi hai
tujh pe ho jaunga quraban tujhe chahunga
apne jazbat mein nagmat rachane ke liye
main ne dhadakan ke tarah dil mein basaya hai tujhe
main tasavvur bhi judai ka bhala kaise karun
main ne qismat ke lakiron se churaya hai tujhe
pyar ka ban ke nigehaban tujhe chahunga
teri har chap se jalate hain khayalon mein chirag
jab bhi tu aaye jagata hua jadu aaye
tujh ko chu lun to phir ae jan-e-tamanna mujhko
der tak apne badan se teri khushbu aaye
tu baharon ka hai unawan tujhe chahunga

Poet  of  the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam :Qateel Shifai

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

Zindagi tujh ko manane nikle
hum bhi kis darja divane nikle

kuch to dushman the mukhalif-saf mein
kuch mere dost purane nikle

nazarandaz kiya hai us ne
khud se milane ke bahane nikle
be-basarat hai ye basti yaro
aaina kis ko dikhane nikle

in andheron mein jiyoge kab tak
koi to shama jalne nikle

Poet  of  the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam :Ameer Kazalbash

Zindagi tujh se mil kar zamana hua
aa tujhe aj hum maikade le chalen
raat ke naam honton ke sagar likhen
apni aankhon mein kuch rat-jage le chalen
kya hassin log hain
aankh aahon ke hain aur lab pankhadi
in ke aaraish-e-khal-o-khat ke liye
apni aankhon ke hum aaine le chalen
ajanabi chehare mein dost banate nahi
rishte-naton ke chandi barasti nahi
qurbaten sohabaten jin ke yaad aayengi
aise kuch doston ke pate le chalen
un ke aankhon ne jalate sulagte hue
manzaron ke siva kuch bhi dekha nahi
chehara-e-afsos ke sakinon ke liye
phul-o-khushbu saba zam-zamen le chalen
zindagi tujh se mil kar zamana hua

Poet  of  the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Zubair Rizvi
