tund mein aur aise kamsin ke liye
saqiya halki si la in ke liye
mujh se rukhsat ho mera ahad-e-shabab
ya khuda rakhna na us din ke liye
hai javani khud javani ka singar
sadagi gahana hai is sin ke liye
sab hasin hain zahidon ko napasand
ab koi hur aayegi in ke liye
vasl ka din aur itna mukhtasar
din gine jate the is din ke liye
sari duniya ke hain wo mere siva
main ne duniya chod di jin ke liye
lash par ibarat ye kahati hai ‘ameer’
aaye the duniya mein is din ke liye

Poet of the Poem/Ghazal or Nazam: Ameer Minai

tune ye phul jo zulfon mein laga rakha hai
ik diya hai jo andheron mein jala rakha hai
jit le jaye koi mujhko nasibon vala
zindagi ne mujhe da o pe laga rakha hai
jane kab aaye koi dil mein jhankane vala
is liye main ne gireban ko khula rakha hai
imtehan aur meri zabt ka tum kya loge
main ne dhadakan ko bhi sine mein chupa rakha hai

Poet of the Poem/Ghazal or Nazam: Qateel Shifai

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

tute huye dilon ke dua mere sath hai
duniya teri taraf hai khuda mere sath hai
aavaz ghungharuon ke nahi hai to kya hua
sagar ke tutane ke sada mere sath hai
tanhai kis ko kahate hain mujhko pata nahi
kya jane kis hasin ke dua mere sath hai
paimana samane hai to kuch gham nahi “nizam”
ab dard-e-dil ke koi dawa mere sath hai

Poet of the Poem/Ghazal or Nazam: Nizam Rampuri

gurub-e-sham hi se khud ko yun mahasus karta hun
ki jaise ik diya hun aur hawa ke zad pe rakha hun
chamakati dhup tum apne hi daman mein na bhar lena
main sari raat pedon ke tarah barish mein bhiga hun
koi tuta hua rishta na daman se ulajh jaye
tumhare sath pahali bar bazaron mein nikala hun
ye kis aavaz ka bosa mere honton pe kanpa hai
main pichali shab sadaon ke halavat bhool baitha hun
bichad ke tum se main ne bhi koi sathi nahi dhundha
hujum-e-rahguzar mein dur tak dekho akela hun

Poet of the poem/ghazal or Nazam: Zubair Rizvi

gulazar-e-hast-o-bu na beganavar dekh
hai dekhane ke cheez ise bar bar dekh
aaya hai to jahan mein misal-e-sharar dekh
dam de najaye hasti-e-napayedar dekh
mana ke teri did ke qabil nahi hun main
tu mera shauq dekh mera intazar dekh
kholi hain zauq-e-did ne aankhen teri to phir
har rahaguzar mein naqsh-e-kaf-e-pay-e-yar dekh

Poet of the poem/ghazal or Nazam: Allama Iqbal

gulashan ke faqat phoolon se nahi kanton se bhi zinat hoti hai
jine ke liye is duniya mein gham ke bhi zarurat hoti hai
ae vaiz-e-nadan karta hai tu ek qayamat ka charcha
yahan roz nigahen milati hain yahan roz qayamat hoti hai
wo purasish-e-gam ko aaye hain kuch kah na sakun chup rah na sakun
kamosh rahun to mushkil hai kah dun to shikayat hoti hai
karana hi padega zabt-e-alam pine hi padenge yah aansu
fariyad-o-fugan se ae nadan tauhin-e-mohabbat hoti hai
jo aake ruke daman pe ‘saba’ wo ashq nahi hain pani hai
jo aansu na chalake aankhon se us ashq ke qimat hoti hai

Poet of the poem/ghazal or Nazam: Saba Afghani

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
