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

Tu pas bhi ho to dil beqarar apna hai
ke hum ko tera nahi intazar apna hai
mile koi bhi tera zikr ched dete hain
ke jaise sara jahan razdar apna hai
wo dur ho to baja tark-e-dosti ka khayal
wo samane ho to kab ikhtiyar apna hai
zamane bhar ke dukhon ko laga liya dil se
is aasre pe ke ik gamgusar apna hai
‘faraz’ rahat-e-jan bhi wohi hai kya kije
wo jis ke hath se sinafigar apna hai

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Ahmed Faraz

Ye na thi hamari qismat ke visal-e-yar hota
agar aur jite rehte yahi intazar hota
tere wade par jiye hum to ye jan jhooth jana
ke khushi se mar na jate agar aitabar hota
teri nazuki se jana ki bandha tha ahdboda
kabhi tu na tod sakata agar ustavar hota
koi mere dil se puche tere tir-e-nimakash ko
ye khalish kahan se hoti jo jigar ke par hota
ye kahan ke dosti hai ke bane hain dost naseh
koi charasaz hota, koi gamgusar hota
rag-e-sang se tapakata wo lahu ki phir na thamata
jise gham samajh rahe ho ye agar sharar hota
gham agarche jangusil hai, pe kahan bachen ke dil hai
gam-e-ishq gar na hota, gam-e-rozagar hota
kahun kis se main ke kya hai, shab-e-gam buri bala hai
mujhe kya bura tha marana agar ek bar hota
hue mar ke hum jo rusava, hue kyon na garq-e-dariya
na kabhi janaza uthata, na kaheen mazar hota
use kon dekh sakata ki yagana hai wo yakta
jo dui ke bu bhi hoti to kaheen do char hota
ye masail-e-tasavvuf, ye tera bayan ‘ghalib’
tujhe hum wali samajhate, jo na badakhvar hota

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Mirza Ghalib

Subah-dam yun hi fasurda ho gaya
ae dil-e-nazuk tujhe kya ho gaya
sina-e-baranat se shola sa utha
gam-zadon ke dil ka nagma ho gaya
shukriya ae gardish-e-jam-e-sharab
main bhari mahafil mein tanha ho gaya
raat dil ko tha sahar ka intazar
ab ye gham hai kyon savera ho gaya
bujh gai kuch is tarah shama-e-”salam”
jaise ik bimar acha ho gaya

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Salaam Machhli Shehri

Shamim-e-zulf-e-yar aaye na aaye
mere dil ko qarar aaye na aaye
abhi aaya hai hosh yad-e-janan
na tadapa, bar-bar aaye na aaye
chirag-e-zindagani bujh raha hai
wo jan-e-intazar aaye na aaye
kiya jo tum ne apne dil se pucho
hamara aitabar aaye na aaye
nigah-e-ahal-e-gulshan kah rahi hai
khizan jaye bahar aaye na aaye
badhega karavan manzil-ba-manzil
gubar-e-rahguzar aaye na aaye

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Sikander Ali Wajd

Sata sata ke hamen ashkbar karati hai
tumhari yaad bahut beqarar karati hai

wo din jo sath guzri the pyar ke hum ne
talash un ko nazar bar bar karati hai
gila nahi jo nasibon ne kar diya hai juda
teri judai bhi ab hum ko pyar karati hai

kinare baith ke jis ke kiye the qaul-o-qarar
nadi wo ab bhi tera intazar karati hai

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Wafa Roomani

Zahanaton ko kahan karb se farar mila
jise nigah mili usako intazar mila
wo koi reh ka pathar ho ya hasin manzar
jahan se rasta thahara waheen mazar mila
koi pukar raha tha khuli fizaon se
nazar uthai to charo taraf hisar mila
har ek sans na jane thi justaju kisaki
har ek dayar musafir ko bedayar mila
ye shahar hai ki numaish lagi hui hai koi
jo aadmi bhi mila banake ishtahar mila

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Nida Fazli

Khud dil mein reh ke aankh se parda kare koi
han lutf jab hai pake bhi dhundha kare koi
tum ne to hukm-e-tark-e-tamanna suna diya
kis dil se aah tark-e-tamanna kare koi
duniya laraz gai dil-e-hiramannasib ke
is tarah saz-e-aish na cheda kare koi

mujh ko ye aarzoo wo uthayen naqab khud
un ko ye intazar taqaza kare koi
rangini-e-naqab mein gum ho gai nazar
kya be-hijabiyon ka taqaza kare koi
ya to kisi ko jurrat-e-didar hi na ho
ya phir meri nigah se dekha kare koi
hoti hai is mein husn ke tauhin ae ‘majaz’
itna na ahal-e-ishq ko rusava kare koi

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Majaz Lucknawi
