Ye intazar galat hai ki sham ho jaye
jo ho sake to abhi daur-e-jam ho jaye
khuda-na khvasta pine lage jo waiz bhi
hamare vaste pina haram ho jaye
mujh jaise rind ko bhi tu ne hashr mein ya rab
bula liya hai to kuch intazam ho jaye
wo sahan-e-bag mein aaye hain may-kashi ke liye
khuda kare ke har ik phul jam ho jaye
mujhe pasand nahi is pe gam-zan hona
wo rah-guzar jo guzar-gah-e-am ho jaye
Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam :Naresh Kumar Shad
Zindan mein bhi khinche rahe dar-o-rasan se hum
rehte hain sarkashon mein bahut bankhpan se hum
gul-dosti ne khar ka khugar bana diya
misl-e-nasim shad hain sare chaman se hum
agyar mahar-o-mah se aage nikal gaye
ulajhe huye hain subah ke pahali kiran se hum
past-o-buland-e-dahar se aasan guzar gaye
choote na qaid-e-zulf-e-shikan-dar-shikan se hum
nikle jo gamkade se to surat khizan ke thi
aaye bahar ban ke teri anjuman se hum
ye lutf kam nahi hai gam-e-ashiqi tera
hain hain beniyaz dahar ke ranj-o-mehan se hum
Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Sikander Ali Wajd
Na jane ashk se aankhon mein kyon hai aaye hue
guzar gaya zamana tujhe bhulaye hue
jo manzilen hain to bas raharavan-e-ishq ke hain
wo sans ukhadi hui panv dagmagaye hue
na rahzanon se ruke raste mohabbat ke
wo kafile nazar aaye lute lutaye hue
ab is ke bad mujhe kuch khabar nahi un ke
gham aashana hue apne hue paraye hue
ye iztirab sa kya hai ki muddaten guzri
tujhe bhulaye hue teri yaad aaye hue
Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Firaq Gorakhpuri
na ganvao navak-e-nim-kash, dil-e-reza reza ganva diya
jo bache hain sang samet lo, tan-e-dag daag luta diya
mere charagar ko naved ho, saf-e-dushmanan ko khabar karo
wo jo qarz rakhte the jan par, wo hisab aj chuka diya
karo kaj jabin pe sar-e-kafan, mere qatilon ko guman na ho
ki gurur-e-ishq ka bankapan, pas-e-marg hum ne bhula diya
udhar ek harf ki kushtani, yahan lakh uzr tha guftani
jo kaha to sun ke uda diya, jo likha to pad ke mita diya
jo ruke to koh-e-garan the ham, jo chale to jan se guzar gaye
rah-e-yar hum ne qadam qadam, tujhe yadagar bana diya
Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Faiz Ahmed Faiz
nama gaya koi na koi namabar gaya
teri khabar na aayi zamana guzar gaya
hansata hun yun ki hijr ke raten guzar gain
rota hun yun ki lutf-e-dua-e-sahar gaya
ab mujh ko hai qarar to sab ko qarar hai
dil kya thahar gaya ki zamana guzar gaya
ya rab nahi main vaqif-e-rudad-e-zindagi
itna hi yaad hai ki jiya aur mar gaya
Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Seemab Akbarabadi
Khud se hum ik nafas hile bhi kahan
us ko dhundhen to wo mile bhi kahan
khema-khema guzar le ye shab
subah-dam ye qafle bhi kahan
ab ta’mul na kar dil-e-khudkam
ruth le phir ye silsile bhi kahan
aao aapas mein kuch gile kar lain
warna yun hai ke phir gile bhi kahan
khush ho sine ke in kharashon par
phir tanaffus ke ye sile bhi kahan
Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Jaun Eliya
Khizan ke rang mein abhi bahar baqi hai
chirag-e-sahar hai par intazar baqi hai
hamen salam karo ae havadis-e-dauran
tumhare sath hain phir bhi qarar baqi hai
guzar chuka hai ummidon ka qafila kab ka
rah-e-yaqin pe ab bhi gubar baqi hai
hamen pukar lo jab chaho hum milenge waheen
mile hain khak mein lekin vaqar baqi hai
Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Azra Adil Rashid
Kamal-e-ishq hai divana ho gaya hun main
ye kis ke hath se daman chuda raha hun main
tumhin to ho jise kahati hai nakhuda duniya
bacha sako to bacha lo ki dubata hun main
ye mere ishq ke majaburiyan ma’az-ALLAH
tumhara raz tumhin se chupa raha hun main
is ik hijab pe sau be-hijabiyan sadaqe
jahan se chahata hun tumko dekhata hun main
batane wale waheen par batate hain manzil
hazar bar jahan se guzar chuka hun main
kabhi ye zom ki tu mujh se chup nahi sakata
kabhi ye vaham ki khud bhi chupa hua hun main
mujhe sune na koi mast-e-bada-e-isharat
‘majaz’ tute huye dil ke ik sada hun main
Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Majaz Lucknawi
