jahan phoolon ko khilana tha waheen khilate to acha tha
tumhin ko hum ne chaha tha tumhin milate to acha tha
koi aakar hamen puche tumhen kaise bhulaya hai
tumhare khat ko ashkon se shab-e-gam mein jalaya hai
hazaron zakhm aise hain agar silate to acha tha
tumhen jitana bhulaya hai tumhari yaad aayi hai
bahar-e-nau jo aayi hai wo hi khushbu lai hai
tumhare lab meri khatir agar hilate to acha tha
mila hai lutf bhi hum ko hasin yadon ke jhil-mil mein
katati hai zindagi tum bin magar itni si hai dil mein
agar tum aate to acha tha agar milate to acha tha

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Saadullah Shah

jab tere shahar se guzarata hun
dil bhi karta hai yaad chup ke tujhe
naam leti nahi zuban tera
ye bhi nahi mujhe malum
kis mohalle mein hai makan tera
kon si shakh-e-gul pe raqsan hai
rashk-e-firdaus aashiyan tera
jane kin vadiyon
mein thehara hai
girat-e-husn karavan tera
kis se puchunga main khabar teri
kon batalayega nishan tera
teri rusvaiyon se darta hun
jab tere shahar se guzarata hun
hal-e-dil bhi na kah saka garche
tu rahi muddaton qarib mere
kuch teri azmaton ka dar bhi tha
kuch khayalat the ajeeb mere
aakhir kar wo ghadi aayi
bar-e-dar ho gaye raqib mere
tu mujhe chod ke chali bhi gai
khair qismat meri nasib mere
ab main kyon tujh se pyar karta hun
jab tere shahar se guzarata hun
wo zamana teri muhabbat ka
ek bhuli hui kahani hai
tere kuche mein umr bhar na gaye
sari duniya ke khak chani hai
lazzat-e-qarb ho ke zakhm-e-firaq
jo bhi hai teri meharabani hai
kis tamanna se tujh ko chaha tha
kis muhabbat se har mani hai
apni qismat pe naz karta hun
jab tere shahar se guzarata hun

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam :Saifuddin Saif

jab bhi us gul-badan ke yaad aayi
ho gai pur-bahar tanhai
chaunk uthe hadasat duniya ke
mere honton pe jab hansi aayi
jab kisi ne tumhara naam liya
jane q mujh ko apni yaad aayi
dekh ae shekh mere sagar mein
apni jannat ke jalva-faramai
hosh mein “shad” jab tujhe paya
tujh mein hum ne teri kami pai

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam :Naresh Kumar ‘Shad’

jab bhi nazm-e-maikada badala gaya
ek na ek jam-e-hasin toda gaya
jab safina mauj se takra gaya
nakhuda ko bhi khuda yaad aa gaya

main ne cheda qissa-e-jaur-e-falak
jane q un ko pasina aa gaya

dekh kar un ke jafaon ka khulus
main wafa ke naam par sharma gaya
aap ab aayen hain aansu ponchane
jab mere daman pe dhabba aa gaya

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam :Fana Nizami Kanpuri

jab bhi aati hai teri yaad kabhi sham ke bad
aur bad jati hai afsurdadili sham ke bad
ab iradon pe bharosa hai na tauba pe yaqin
mujh ko le jaye kahan tashnalabi sham ke bad
yun to har lamha teri yaad ka bojhal guzra
dil ko mahasus hui teri kami sham ke bad
yun to kuch sham se pahale bhi udasi thi ‘adeeb’
ab to kuch aur badi dil ke lagi sham ke bad

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam :Krishan Adeeb

guzri dinon ke yaad barasati ghata lage
guzarun jo us gali se to thandi hawa lage
mehaman banke aaye kisi roz agar wo shakhs
us roz bin sajaye mera ghar saja lage
main is liye manata nahi vasl ke khushi
mere raqib ke na mujhe baddua lage
wo qahat dosti ka pada hai ki in dinon
jo muskura ke baat kare aashna lage
tark-e-vafa ke bad ye us ke ada ‘qateel’
mujhko sataye koi to us ko bura lage

Poet of the poem/ghazal or Nazam: Qateel Shifai

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

hui takhir to kuch bais-e-takhir bhi tha
aap aate the magar koi inangir na tha
tum se beja hai mujhe apni tabahi ka gila
us mein kuch shaib-e-khubi-e-taqadir bhi tha
tu mujhe bhool gaya ho to pata batala dun
kabhi fitarak mein tere koi nakhchir bhi tha
qaid mein hai tere vahashi ko wohi zulf ke yaad
han kuch ek ranj-e-garanbari-e-zanjir bhi tha
bijli kaund gai aankhon ke aage, to kya
baat karate, ke main lab tashna-e-taqarir bhi tha
yusuf us ko kahun aur kuch na kahe, khair hui
gar bigag baithe to main layaq-e-ta’zir bhi tha
dekh kar gair ko q ho na kaleja thanda
nala karta tha wale talib-e-tasir bhi tha
peshe mein aib nahin, rakhiye na farhad ko naam
hum hi aashufta-saron mein wo jawan ‘meer’ bhi tha
hum the marane ko khade pas na aaya na sahi
aakhir us shaukh ke tarakash mein koi tir bhi tha
pakade jate hain farishton ke likhe par nahak
aadmi koi hamara dam-e-taharir bhi tha
rekhta ke tumhin ustad nahi ho “ghalib”
kahate hain agale zamane mein koi ‘mir’ bhi tha
