Ye karen ya wo karen aisa karen vaisa karen
zindagi do din ke hai do din mein hum kya kya karen
jee mein aata hai ki den parde se parde ka javab
hum se wo parda karen duniya se hum parda karen
sun raha hun kuch lutere aa gaye hain shahar mein
aap jaldi band apne ghar ka daravaza karen
is purani bevafa duniya ka rona kab talak
aaiye mil-jhul ke ik duniya nai paida karen

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Nazeer Banarasi

Ye husn tera ye ishq mera
rangin to hai badnam sahi
mujh par to kai ilzam lage
tujh par bhi koi ilzam sahi
is raat ke nikhari rangat ko
kuch aur nikhar jane de zara
nazron ko bahak jane de zara
zulfon ko bikhar jane de zara
kuch der ke hi taskin sahi
kuch der ka hi aaram sahi
jazbat ke kaliyan chunana hai
aur pyar ka tohfa dena hai
logon ke nigahen kuch bhi kahen
logon se hamen kya lena hai
ye khas ta’alluq aapas ka
duniya ke nazar mein aam sahi
rusavai ke dar se ghabara kar
hum tark-e-vafa kab karte hain
jis dil ko basa lain pehlu mein
us dil ko juda kab karte hain
jo hashr hua hai lakhon ka
apna bhi wohi anjam sahi
ye husn tera ye ishq mera
rangin to hai badnam sahi
mujh par to kai ilzam lage
tujh par bhi koi ilzam sahi

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam :Sahir Ludhianvi

Ye daulat bhi le lo, ye shoharat bhi le lo
bhale chin lo mujhase meri javani
magar mujhko lauta do bachpan ka savan
wo kagaz ke kashti, wo barish ka pani
muhalle ke sabase nishani purani
wo budhiya jise bache kahate the nani
wo nani ke baton mein pariyon ka dera
wo chahare ke jhuriryon mein sadiyon ka phera
bhulaye nahi bhool sakata hai koi
wo choti si raten wo lambi kahani
kadi dhup mein apne ghar se nikalana
wo chidiya wo bul-bul wo titali pakadana
wo gudiya ke shadi mein ladana jhagadana
wo jhulon se girna wo gir ke sambhalana
wo pital ke challon ke pyare se tohafe
wo tuti hui chudiyon ke nishani
kabhi ret ke unche tilon pe jana
gharonde banana banake mitana
wo masum chahat ke tasvir apni
wo khwabon khilaunon ke jagir apni
na duniya ka gham tha na rishton ke bandhan
badi khubasurat thi wo zindagani

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam :Sudarshan Faakir

Ye chandani bhi jin ko choote hue darati hai
duniya unhin phoolon kopairon se masalati hai
shoharat ke bulandi bhi pal bhar ka tamasha hai
jis dal pe baithe ho wo toot bhi sakati hai
loban mein chingari jaise koi rakh de
yun yaad teri shab bhar sine mein sulagati hai
aa jata hai khud khench kar dil sine se patari par
jab raat ke sarahad se ik rel guzarati hai
aansu kabhi palkon par ta der nahi rukate
ud jate hain ue panchi jab shakh lachakati hai
khush rang parindon ke laut aane ke din aaye
bichde hue milate hain jab barf pighalati hai

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam :Bashir Badr

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

Ya mujhe afsar-e-shaha na banaya hota
ya mera taj gadaya na banaya hota

khaksari ke liye garache banaya tha mujhe
kash khak-e-dar-e-janan na banaya hota
nasha-e-ishq ka gar zarf diya tha mujh ko
umr ka tang na paimana banaya hota

apna divana banaya mujhe hota tune
kyon khiradmand banaya na banaya hota
shola-e-husn chaman mein na dikhaya us ne
varana bulbul ko bhi paravana banaya hota
roz-e-mamura-e-duniya mein kharabi hai ‘zafar’
aisi basti se to virana banaya hota

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam :Bahadur Shah Zafar

Tum jo pal ko thahar jao to ye lamhen bhi
aanevale lamhon ke amanat ban jayen
tum jo thahar jao to ye rat, mahatab
ye sabza, ye gulab aur hum donon ke khwab
sab ke sab aise mubaham hon ki haqiqat ho jayen
tum thahar jao ki unavan ke tafasir ho tum
tum se talkhi-e-auqat ka mausam badle
raat to kya badalegi, halat to kya badlenge
tum jo thahar jao to meri zat ka mausam badle
maharban ho ke na thaharo to phir yun thaharo
jaise pal bhar ko koi khvab-e-tamanna thahare
jaise daravesh-e-mada-nosh ke pyale mein kabhi
ek do pal ke liye talkhi-e-duniya thahare
thahar jao ke madarat maikhane se
chalte chalte koi ek-adh subu ho jaye
is se pahale ke koi lamha aainda ka tir
is tarah aaye ke pevast-e-gulu ho jaye

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Faiz Ahmed Faiz

Shole hi sahi aag lagane ke liye aa
phir tur ke manzar ko dikhane ke liye aa
ye kis ne kaha hai meri taqadir bana de
aa apne hi hathon se mitane ke liye aa
ae dost mujhe gardish-e-halat ne ghera
tu zulf ke kamali mein chupane ke liye aa
divar hai duniya ise rahon se hata de
har rasm muhabbat ke mitane ke liye aa
matalab teri aamad se hai daraman se nahi
“hasrat” ke qasam dil hi dukhane ke liye aa

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Hasrat Jaipuri
