Ye jo divane se do char nazar aate hain
in mein kuch sahib-e-asrar nazar aate hain
teri mahafil ka bharam rakahate hain so jat ehain
warna ye log to bedar nazar aate hain
dur tak koi sitara hai na koi jugnu
marg-e-ummid ke aasar nazar aate hain
mere daman mein shararon ke siva kuch bhi nahi
aap phoolon ke kharidar nazar aate hain
kal jise chu nahi sakati thi farishton ke nazar
aj wo raunaq-e-bazar nazar aate hain
hashr mein kon gavahi meri dega ‘sagar’
sab tumhare hi tarafdar nazar aate hain

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Sagar Siddiqui

Ye chandani bhi jin ko choote hue darati hai
duniya unhin phoolon kopairon se masalati hai
shoharat ke bulandi bhi pal bhar ka tamasha hai
jis dal pe baithe ho wo toot bhi sakati hai
loban mein chingari jaise koi rakh de
yun yaad teri shab bhar sine mein sulagati hai
aa jata hai khud khench kar dil sine se patari par
jab raat ke sarahad se ik rel guzarati hai
aansu kabhi palkon par ta der nahi rukate
ud jate hain ue panchi jab shakh lachakati hai
khush rang parindon ke laut aane ke din aaye
bichde hue milate hain jab barf pighalati hai

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam :Bashir Badr

Pathar ke jigar valon gham mein wo ravani hai
khud reh bana lega bahata hua pani hai
phoolon mein gazal rakhna ye raat ke rani hai
is mein teri zulfon ke be-rabt kahani hai
ek zahan-e-parenshan mein wo phul sa chehara hai
pathar ke hifazat mein shishe ke javani hai
kyon chandani raton mein dariya pe nahate ho
soye hue pani mein kya aag lagani hai
is hausala-e-dil par hum ne bhi kafan pahana
hans kar koi puchega kya jan gavani hai
rone ka asar dil par reh reh ke badalata hai
aansu kabhi shisha hai aansu kabhi pani hai
ye shabnami lahaja hai aahista gazal padhana
titali ke kahani hai phoolon ke zabani hai

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Bashir Badr

Phir chedi raat baat phoolon ke
raat hai yan barat phoolon ke
phul ke har phul ke gajare
sham phoolon ke raat phoolon ke
aap ka sath sath phoolon ka
aap ke baat baat phoolon ke
phul khialte rahenge duniya mein
roz nikalegi baat phoolon ke
nazaren milati hain jam milate hain
mil rahi hai hayat phoolon ke
ye mahakati hui gazal “makhdoom”
jaise sahara mein raat phoolon ke

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam :Makhdoom Moinuddin

Khuda jane kahan hai ‘asghar’-e-divana barason se
ki us ko dhundhate hain ka’aba-o-butakhana barason se
tadapana hai na jalana hai na jalakar khak hona hai
ye kyon soi hui hai fitrat-e-paravana barason se

koi aisa nahi yarab ki jo is dard ko samajhe
nahi malum kyon khamosh hai divana barason se

hasinon par na rang aaya na phoolon mein bahar aayi
nahi aaya jo lab par nagma-e-mastana barason se

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Asghar Gondvi

Hawa ke aavaz
khushk patton ke sarsarahat se bhar gai
rosh-rosh par fatada phoolon ne
lakhon nauhe jaga diye hain
sileti shuayen
buland pedon par gul machate
siyah kauon ke qafilon se ati hui hain
har ek janib khizan ke qasid lapak rahe hain
har ek janib khizan ke aavaz gunjati hai
har ek basti kashakash-e-marg-o-zindagi se nidhal hokar
musafiron ko pukarati hai ki – aao
mujh ko khizan ke bemahar
talkh ehasas se bachao

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Munir Niazi

matti ke imarat saya dekar matti mein hamvar hui
virani se ab kam hai aur virani kis ke yar hui
dar-dar ke qadam yun rakhta hun khwabon ke sahara mein
ye reg abhi zanjir bani ye chanv abhi divar hui
har patti bojhil ho ke giri sab shakhen jhuk kar toot gain
us barish hi se fasal ujadi jis barish se taiyar hui
ab ye bhi nahi hai bas mein ke hum phoolon ke dagar par laut chalen
jis rahguzar par chalana hai wo rahguzar talavar hui
chuti hai zara jab tan ko hawa chubhate hain ragon mein kanten se
sau bar khizan aayi hogi mahasus magar is bar hui
wo nale hain betabi ke chikh uthta hai sannata bhi
ye dard ke shab malum nahi kab tak ke liye bedar hui
likhi hain shikasten itni jahan maqtal mein vahan ye bhi likh do
kitni shamshiren toot gain kitne dushmanon ke har hui
ab gair hawa kitni hi chale ab garm fiza kitni hi rahe
sine ka zakhm charag bana daman ke aag bahar hui

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam :Mahashar Badayuni

phir ek din aisa aayega
aankhon ke diye bujh jayenge
hathon ke kanval kumhalayenge
aur barg-e-zaban se nataq-va-sada
ke har titali ud jayegi
ik kale samandar ke tah mein
kaliyon ke tarah se khilati hui
phoolon ke tarah se hansati hui
sari shaklen kho jayengi
khoon ke gardish dil ke dhadakan
sab ranginiyan so jayengi
aur nili faza ke makhmal par
hansati hui hire ke ye kani
ye meri jannat meri zamin
is ke subahen is ke shamen
bejane hue besamajhe hue
ik musht gubar-e-insan par
shabanam ke ro jayengi
har cheez bhula di jayegi
yadon ke hasin butkhane se
har cheez utha di jayegi
phir koi nahi ye puchega
‘sardar’ kahan hai mahafil mein
lekin main yahan phir aaunga
bachon ke dahan se bolunga
chidiyon ke zaban se gaunga
jab bij hansenge dharati mein
aur konpalen apni ungali se
matti ke tahon ko chedengi
main patti patti kali kali
apni aankhen phir kholunga
sar sabz hatheli par lekar
shabanam ke qatre tulunga
main rang-e-hena aahang-e-gazal
andaz-e-sukhan ban jaunga
rukhsar-e-urus-e-nau ke tarah
har aanchal se chan jaunga
jadon ke havayen daman mein
jab fasal-e-khazan ko layengi
rahru ke jawan qadmon ke tale
sukhe hue patton se mere
hansane ke sadayen aayengi
dharati ke sunahari sab nadiyan
aakash ke nili sab jhilen
hasti se meri bhar jayengi
aur sara zamana dekhega
har qissa mera afsana hai
har aashiq hai saradar yahan
har mashuqa sultana hai
main ek gurezan lamha hun
ayyam ke afsunkhane mein
main ek tadapata qatra hun
masaruf-e-safar jo rehta hai
mazi ke surahi ke dil se
mustaqbil ke paimane mein
main sota hun aur jagata hun
aur jag ke phir so jata hun
sadiyon ka purana khel hun main
main mar ke amar ho jata hun

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam :Ali Sardar Jafri
