Tu nahi to zindagi main aur kya reh jayega
dur tak tanhaiyon ka silsila reh jayega
kijiye kya guftagu kya un se mil kar sochiye
dil-shikasta khvahishon ka zayaqa reh jayega
dard ke sari tahen aur sare guzri hadase
sab dhuan ho jayenge ek vaqiya reh jayega
ye bhi hoga wo mujhe dil se bhula dega magar
yun bhi hoga khud usi mein ek khala reh jayega
dayar-e-inkar ke iqarar ke saragoshiyan
ye agar tute kabhi to fasala reh jayega
Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Iftikhar Imam Siddiqui
Wo khwab tha bikhar gaya khayal tha mila nahi
magar ae dil ko kya hua kyon bujh gaya pata nahi
har ek din udas din tamam shab udasiyan
kisi se kya bichad gaye ki jaise kuch bacha nahi
wo sath tha to manzilen nazar nazar chirag thin
qadam qadam safar mein ab koi bhi lab dua nahi
hum apne is mizaj mein kaheen bhi ghar na ho sake
kisi se hum mile nahi kisi se dil mila nahi
hai shor-sa taraf taraf ki sarhadon ke jang mein
zamin pe aadmi nahi falak pe kya khuda nahi
Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Iftikhar Imam Siddiqui
Wo na dur hai na qarib hai
ye jo hijr hai ye nasib hai
jo visal tha wo to khwab tha
ye khayal kitna ajeeb hai
wohi aansuon mein duaon mein
wohi dukh sukh mein qarib hai
jo main sochata hun kah sakun
mera harf harf raqib hai
ye falak zamin ko samet le
mera dil bhi kitna garib hai
Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Iftikhar Imam Siddiqui
Wo nahi milta mujhe is ka gila apni jagah
us ke mere darmiyan ka fasala apni jagah
dil ki mausam ke nikharane ke liye bechain hai
jam gai hai un ke hothon ke ghata apni jagah
zindagi ke is safar mein sainkadon chehare mile
dil-kashi un ke alag paikar tera apni jagah
tujh se mil kar aane wale kal se nafarat mol li
ab kabhi tujh se na bichadun ye dua apni jagah
kar kabhi tu mere dil ke khvahishon ka ehataram
khvahishon ke bheed aur un ke saza apni jagah
ik musalsal daud mein hai manzilen aur fasale
panv to apni jagah hain rasta apni jagah
Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Iftikhar Imam Siddiqui
Tere qarib rahun ya ki dur jaun main
hai dil ka ek hi aalam tujhi ko chahun main
main janata hun wo rakhta hai chahaten kitni
magar ye baat use kis tarah bataun main
jo chup raha to samajhega badguman mujhe
bura bhala hi sahi kuch to bol aaun main
phir is ke bad ta’alluq mein fasale honge
mujhe sanbhal ke rakhna bichad na jaun main
muhabbaton ke parakh ka yahi to rasta hai
teri talash mein nikalun tujhe na paun main
Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Iftikhar Imam Siddiqui
