‘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

apne mazi ki tasavvur se hirasa hun main
apne guzri hue ayyam se nafarat hai mujhe
apni bekar tamannaon pe sharminda hun main
apni besud ummidon pe nidamat hai mujhe
mere mazi ko andhere mein daba rahane do
mera mazi meri zillat ki siva kuch bhi nahi
meri ummidon ka hasil meri kavish ka sila
ek benam aziyat ki siva kuch bhi nahi
kitni bekar ummidon ka sahara lekar
main ne aiwan sajaye they kisi ki khatir
kitni berabt tamannazon ki mabham khake
apne khwabon mem basaye the kisi ki khatir
mujhase ab meri mohabbat ki fasane na pucho
mujhko kahane do ki main ne unhen chaha hi nahi
aur wo mast nigahen jo mujhe bhool gain
main ne un mast nigahon ko saraha hi nahi
mujhko kahane do ki main aj bhi jee sakata hun
ishq nakam sahi zindagi nakam nahi
unko apanane ki khvahish unhen pane ki talab
shauq bekar sahi sai-gam anjam nahi
wohi gesu wohi nazar wohi aarid wohi jism
main jo chahun ki mujhe aur bhi mil sakate hain
wo kanval jinako kabhi munake liye khilana tha
unaki nazaron se bahut dur bhi khil sakate hain

Poet of the poem/ghazal or Nazam:  Sahir Ludhianvi

yun teri nigahon se gila kuch bhi nahi tha
is dil ne to bekar yun hi baithe bithaye
virani-e-lamhat ko bahalane ki khatir
afsane gadhe baten bana li thin hazaron
ye ishq ka afsana jo phir cheda hai tu ne
bekar hai ab waqt kahan us ko sunun main
jab tum ko faragat na thi ab mujh ko nahi hai

Poet of the poem/ghazal or Nazam:  Balraj Komal

main ne jo git tere pyar ki khatir likkhe
aj un giton ko bazar mein le aaya hun
aj dukan pe nilam uthega un ka
tune jin giton pe rakkhi thi muhabbat ki asas
aj chandi ki tarazu mein tulegi har cheez
mere afakar meri shayari mera ehasas
jo teri zat se manasub the un giton ko
muflisi jins banane pe utar aayi hai
bhuk tere rukh-e-rangin ki fasanon ki ivaz
chand aashiya-e-zarurat ki tamannai hai
dekh is arsagah-e-mehanat-o-sarmaya mein
mere naghmay bhi mere pas nahi rah sakate
tere jalve kisi zaradar ki miras sahi
tere khake bhi mere pas nahi rah sakate
aj un giton ko bazar mein le aaya hun
main ne jo git tere pyar ki khatir likkhe

Poet of the poem/ghazal or Nazam: Sahir Ludhianvi

fal-safe ishq mein pesh aaye savalon ki tarah
hum pareshan hi rahe apne khayalon ki tarah
shishagar baithe rahe zikr-e-masiha lekar
aur hum toot gaye kanch ki pyalon ki tarah
jab bhi anjam-e-muhabbat ne pukara khud ko
waqt ne pesh kiya hum ko misalon ki tarah
zikr jab hoga muhabbat mein tabahi ka kaheen
yaad hum aayenge duniya ko havalon ki tarah

Poet of the poem/ghazal or Nazam: Sudarshan Faakir

fasala to hai magar koi fasala nahi
mujhase tum juda sahi dil se to juda nahi
aasman ka fikr kya aasman khafa sahi
aap ye bataiye aap to khafa nahi
kashtiyan nahi to kya hausale to pas hain
kah do nakhudaon se, tum koi khuda nahi
lijiye bula liya aap ko khayalon mein
ab to dekhiye hamen koi dekhata nahi
aaiye chirag-e-dil aj hi jalayen hum
kaisi kal hawa chale koi janata nahi

Poet of the poem/ghazal or Nazam:  Shamim Karhani

ek paravaz dikhai di hai
teri aavaz sunai di hai
jis ki aankhon mein kati thi sadiyan
us ne sadiyon ki judai di hai
sirf ek safah palat kar us ne
biti baton ki safai di hai
phir waheen laut ki jana hoga
yar ne kaisi rihai di hai
aag ne kya kya jalaya hai shav par
kitni khus-rang dikhai di hai

Poet of the poem/ghazal or Nazam:  Gulzar

ek pal mein ek sadi ka maza hum se puchiye
do din ki zindagi ka maza hum se puchiye
bhule hain unhen rafta rafta mudatton mein hum
qishton mein khudkushi ka maza hum se puchiye
aagaz-e-ashiqi ka maza aap janiye
anjam-e-ashiqi ka maza hum se puchiye
jalate diyon mein jalate gharon jaise zau kahan
sarakar raushni ka maza hum se puchiye
wo jan hi gaye ki hamen un se pyar hai
aankhon ki mukhbari ka maza hum se puchiye
hansane ka shauq hum ko bhi tha aap ki tarah
hansiye magar hansi ka maza hum se puchiye
hum tauba kar ki mar gaye bemaut ae ‘khumar’
tauhin-e-maikashi ka maza hum se puchiye

Poet of the poem/ghazal or Nazam:  Khumar Barabankvi
