gam-e-duniya se gar pai bhi fursat sar uthane ke
falak ka dekhana taqarib tere yaad aane ke
khulega kis tarah mazamun mere maktub ka yarab
qasam khai hai us kafir ne kagaz ke jalne ke
lipatana paraniyan mein shola-e-atish ka aasan hai
wale mushkil hai hikamat dil mein soz-e-gam chupane ke
unhen manzur apne zakhmiyon ka dekh aana tha
uthe the sair-e-gul ko dekhana shokhi bahane ke
hamari sadagi thi iltafat-e-naz par marana
tera aana na tha zalim magar tamahid jane ke
laqad-kob-e-havadis ka tahammul kar nahi sakati
meri taqat ke zamin thi buton ke naz uthane ke
kahun kya khubi-e-auzag-e-ibna-e-zaman “ghalib”
badi ke usane jis se hum ne ke thi barha neki

Poet of the poem/ghazal or Nazam: Mirza Ghalib

gham ki barish ne bhi tere naqsh ko dhoya nahi
tune mujh ko kho diya main ne tujhe khoya nahi
neend ka halka gulabi-sa khumar aankhon mein tha
yun laga jaise wo shab ko der tak soya nahi
har taraf divar-o-dar aur un mein aankhon ka hujum
kah sake jo dil ki halat wo lab-e-goya nahi
jurm aadam ne kiya aur nasl-e-adam ko saza
katata hun zindagi bhar main ne jo boya nahi
janata hun ek aise shakhs ko main bhi ‘munir’
gham se pathar ho gaya lekin kabhi roya nahi

Poet of the poem/ghazal or Nazam: Munir Niazi

meri vadi mein wo ik din yun hi aa nikali thi
rang aur nur ka bahata hua dhara ban kar
mahafil-e-shauq mein ik dhum macha di us ne
khalvat-e-dil mein rahi anjuman-ara ban kar

shola-e-ishq sar-e-arsh ko jab chune laga
ud gai wo mere sine se sharara ban kar
aur ab mere tasavvur ka ufaq roshan hai
wo chamakati hai jahan gham ka sitara ban kar

Poet of the poem/ghazal or Nazam: Ali Sardar Jafri

gham ka khazana tera bhi hai mera bhi
ye nazarana tera bhi hai mera bhi
apne gham ko geet banake ga lena
rag purana tera bhi hai mera bhi
tu mujhko aur main tujh ko samjahaun kya
dil divana tera bhi hai mera bhi
shahron shahron galiyon jis ka charcha hai
wo afsana tera bhi hai mera bhi
maikhane ki bat na kar waiz mujh se
aana jana tera bhi hai mera bhi

Poet of the poem/ghazal or Nazam: Shahid Kabir

gham chupate rahe muskurate rahe
mahafilon mahafilon gungunate rahe
aansuon se likhi dil ki taharir ko
phul ki pattiyon se sajate rahe
gazalen kumhala gain nazmen murjha gain
geet sanvala gaye saz chup ho gaye
phir bhi ahal-e-chaman kitne khushzauq the
nagma-e-fasl-e-gul gungunate rahe
teri sanson ki khushbu labon ki mahak
jane kaise havayen uda lain thi
waqt ka har qadam bhi bahakata raha
zaqt le panv bhi dagmagate rahe

Poet of the poem/ghazal or Nazam: Bashir Badr

gair lain mahafil mein bose jam ki
hum rahen yun tashnalab paigam ki
khastagi ka tum se kya shikwa ki ye
hathakande hain charkh-e-nili fam ki
khat likhenge garche matalab kuch na ho
hum to aashiq hain tumhare naam ki
raat pi zam-zam pe may aur subh-dam
dhoe dhabbe jama-e-eharam ki
dil ko aankhon ne phansaya kya magar
ye bhi halqe hain tumhare dam ki
shah ki hai gusl-e-sehat ki khabar
dekhiye din kab phiren hammam ki
ishq ne ‘ghalib’ nikamma kar diya
varna hum bhi aadmi the kam ki

Poet of the poem/ghazal or Nazam: Mirza Ghalib

firaq se bhi gaye hum visal se bhi gaye
subuk huye hain to aish-e-malal se bhi gaye
jo but-kade mein the wo sahiban-e-kashf-o-kamal
haram mein aaye tp kashf-o-kamal se bhi gaye
usi nigah ki narmi se dag-maga gaye qadam
usi nigah ki tevar sambhal se bhi gaye
gam-e-hayat-o-gam-e-dost ki kashakash mein
hum aise log to ranj-o-malal se bhi gaye
wo log jin se teri bazm mein the hangame
gaye to kya teri bazm-e-khayal se bhi gaye
hum aise kon the lekin qafas ki ye duniya
ki par-shikaston mein apni misal se bhi gaye
charag-e-bazm abhi jan-e-anjuman na bujha
ki ye bujha to tere khad-o-khal se bhi gaye

Poet of the poem/ghazal or Nazam: Aziz Hamid Madni

‘faraz’ ab koi sauda koi junun bhi nahi
magar qarar se din kat rahe hon yun bhi nahi
lab-o-dahan bhi mila guftagu ka fan bhi mila
magar jo dil pe guzarati hai kah sakun bhi nahi

meri zuban ki luknat se badguman na ho
jo tu kahe to tujhe umr bhar milun bhi nahi

‘faraz’ jaise koi diya turbat-e-hava chahe hai
tu pas aaye to mumkin hai main rahun bhi nahi

Poet of the poem/ghazal or Nazam: Ahmed Faraz
