Tanha tanha hum ro lenge mahafil mahafil gayenge
jab tak aansu pas rahenge tab tak geet sunayenge
tum jo socho wo tum jano hum to apni kahate hain
der na karana ghar jane mein varana ghar kho jayenge
bachon ke chote hathon ko chand sitare chune do
char kitaben padh kar wo bhi hum jaise ho jayenge
kin rahon se dur hai manzil kon sa rasta aasan hai
hum jab thak kar ruk jayenge auron ko samajhayenge
achi surat wale sare patthar-dil ho mumkin hai
hum to us din rae denge jis din dhoka khayenge

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Nida Fazli

aa ke patthar to mere sahan mai do-char gire
jitane us ped ke phal the pas-e-divar gire

aisi dahashat thi fazaon mai khule pani ke
aankh jhapaki bhi nahi hath se patavar gire

mujhe girana hai to main apane hi qadamon mai girun
jis tarah saya-e-divar pe divar gire

tiragi chod gaye din mai ujale ke khutut
ye sitare mere ghar tut ke bekar gire

dekh kar apane dar-o-bam laraz uthata hun
mere hamsaye mai jab bhi koi divar gire

vaqt ke dor khuda jane kahan se tute
kis ghadi sar pe ye lataki hui talvar gire

hum se takara gai khud badh ke andhere ke chattan
hum sambhalkar jo bahut chalate the nachar gire

hath aaya nahi kuch rat ke daldal ke siva
hai kis mod pe khvabon ke parastar gire

kya kahun dida-e-tar ye to mera chehara hai
sang kat jate hain barish ke jahan dhar gire

dekhate kyon ho ‘shakeb’ itani bulandi ke taraf
na uthaya karo sar ko ki ye dastar gire
Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam :Shakeb Jalali
