go zara si baat par barason ke yarane gaye
lekin itna to hua kuch log pahachane gaye
garmi-e-mahafil faqat ik nara-e-mastana hai
aur wo khush hain ki is lahafil se divane gaye
main ise shoharat kahun ya apni ruswai kahun
mujhase pahale us gali mein mere afasane gaye
yun to wo meri rag-e-jan se bhi the nazadik tar
aansuon ke dhundh mein lekin na pahachane gaye
vahashaten kuch is tarah apana muqadar ho gain
hum jahan pahunche hamare sath virane gaye
ab bhi un yadon ke khushbu zehan mein mahafus hai
barha hum jin se gulazaron ko mahakane gaye
kya qayamat hai ki ‘khatir’ kushta-e-shab bhi the hum
subh jab hui to mujarim hum hi gardane gaye

Poet of the poem/ghazal or Nazam: Khatir Ghaznavi

gulshan mein bahar aayi mere dil ka chaman viran
har shakh hai muskai mere dil ka chaman viran
kaliyon ne bhi khil-khil ke rituon ko sada di hai
patton ne bhi hil-hil ke shakhon ko hawa di hai
mausam pe bahar aayi mere dil ka chaman viran
gunchon se lipatati hai masti bhari purvai
har-su hai nasha chalaka mad-mast ghata chai
phoolon ne li angadai mere dil ka chaman viran
taron-si chamakati hain barakha ke hasin bunden
dulhan-si larazati hain badali mein chipi laharen
bhanvaon ne gazal gai mere dil ka chaman viran

Poet of the poem/ghazal or Nazam: Kumar Aansoo

kheton mein kam karati hui ladakiyan
jeth ke champai dhup ne
jin ka sona badan
surmai kar diya
jin ko raton mein os aur pale ka bistar mile
din ko suraj saron par jale
ye hare laun mein
sang-e-marmar ke benchon pe baithi hui
un hansi muraton se kaheen khubasurat
kaheen mukhtalif
jin ke jude mein juhi ke kaliyan sajin
jo gulab aur bele ke khushbu liye
aur rangon ke hiddat se pagal phiren
khet mein dhup chunati hui ladakiyan bhi
nai umr ke sabz dahaliz par hain magar
aaaina tak nahi dekhatin
y gulab aur dezi ke hiddat se naashna
khushbuon ke jan lams se bekhabar
phul chunati hain lekin pahanati nahi
in ke malabus mein
tez sarson ke phoolon ke bas
un ke aankhon mein roshan kapas

Poet of the poem/ghazal or Nazam: Ishrat Afreen

gul tera rang chura laye hain gulzaron mein
jal raha hun bhari barsat ke baucharon mein
mujh se katara ke nikal ja magar ae jan-e-haya
dil ke lau dekh raha hun tere rukhasaron mein
husn-e-begana-e-ehasas-e-jamal acha hai
gunche khilate hain to bik jate hain bazaron mein
zikr karte hain tera mujh se baunavan-e-jafa
charagar phul piro laye hain talvaron mein
zakhm chup sakate hain lekin mujhe fan ke saugaundh
gham ke daulat bhi hai shamil mere shahakaron mein
mujh ko nafarat se nahi pyar se maslub karo
main to shamil hun mohabbat ke gunahgaron mein

Poet of the poem/ghazal or Nazam: Ahmed Nadeem Qasmi

gul ko mahbub mein qayas kiya
farq nikala bahot jo bas kiya
dil ne hum ko misal-e-aina
ek aalam se ru-shinas kiya
kuch nahi sujhata hamen us bin
shauq ne hum ko be-havas kiya
subah tak shama sar ko dhundhati rahi
kya patange ne iltemas kiya
aise vahashi kahan hain ae khuban
‘meer’ ko tum ne abas udas kiya

Poet of the poem/ghazal or Nazam: Meer Taqi Meer

go sab ko ba-ham sagar-o-bada to nahi tha
ye shahar udas itna ziyada to nahi tha
waiz se rah-o-rasm rahi rind se sohabat
farq in mein koi itna ziyada to nahi tha
thak kar yun hi pal bhar ke liye aankh lagi thi
so kar hi na utthen ye irada to nahi tha

Poet of the poem/ghazal or Nazam: Faiz Ahmed Faiz

giriftadil hain bahut aj tere divane
khuda kare koi tere siva na pahachane
miti miti si ummiden thake thake se khayal
bujhe bujhe se nigahon mein gham ke afasane
hazar shukr ke hum ne zuban se kuch na kaha
ye aur baat ke pucha na ahal-e-duniya ne
baqadr-e-tashnalabi pursish-e-vafa na hui
chalak ke rah gaye teri nazar ke paimane
khayal aa gaya mayus rahguzaron ka
palat ke aa gaye manzil se tere divane
kahan hai tu ke tere intazar mein ae dost
tamam raat sulagte rahe dil ke virane
ummid-e-pursish-e-gam kis se kijiye ‘nasir’
jo mere dil pe guzarati hai koi kya jane

Poet of the poem/ghazal or Nazam: Nasir Kazmi
