Khuli jo aankh to wo tha na wo zamana tha
dahakati aag thi tanhai thi fasana tha
gamon ne bant liya mujhe yun aapas mein
ke jaise main koi luta hua khazana tha
ye kya ke chand hi qadmon pe thak ke baith gaye
tumhen to sath mera dur tak nibhana tha
mujhe jo mere lahu mein dubo ke guzra hai
wo koi gair nahi yar ek purana tha
khud apne hath se “shahzad” us ko kat diya
ke jis darakht ke tahani pe aashiyana tha

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Farhat Shahzad

kya khabar thi ke main is darja badal jaunga
tujh ko kho dunga tere gham se sambhal jaunga
ajanabi ban ke milunga main tujhe mahafil mein
tu ne chedi bhi to main baat badal jaunga
dhundh paye na jahan yaad bhi teri mujh ko
aise jangal mein kisi roz nikal jaunga
zid mein aaye hue masum se bache ke tarah
khud hi kashti ko dubone pe machal jaunga

Poet of the poem/ghazal or Nazam:  Farhat Shahzad

Kha kar zakhm dua di hum ne
bas yun umr bita di hum ne
raat kuch aise dil dukhata tha
jaise aas bujha di hum ne
sannate ke shahar mein tujh ko
be-avaz sada di hum ne
dekh ke jis ko dil dukhata tha
wo tasvir jala di hum ne
aa “shehzad” tujhe samajhayen
kyunkar umr ganva di hum ne

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Farhat Shahzad

ek bas tu hi nahi mujhase khafa ho baitha
main ne jo sang tarasha wo khuda ho baitha
uth ki manzil hi agar aaye to shayad kuch ho
shauq-e-manzil mein mera aabalapa ho baitha
masalahat chin gai quvvat-e-guftar magar
kuch na kahana hi mera meri sada ho baitha
shukriya ae mere qatil ae masiha mere
zeher jo tune diya tha wo dawa ho baitha
jane ‘shehzad’ ko minjumla-e-ada pakar
huk wo utthi ki jee tan se juda ho baitha
