Ghazal Shayari

Main yeh kis ke naam likhoon jo alam guzr rahe hain,
Mer shehr jal rahe hain mere log mar rahe hain,

Koi ghuncha ho ke gul ho koi shaakh ho shajar ho,
Woh havaa-e-gulistaaan hai ke sabhi bikhar rahe hain,

Kabhi rehmaten thiin naazil isi khitta-e-zameen pr,
Wohi khitta-e-zameen hai ke azaab utar rahe hain,

Wohi taayeron ke jhurmatt jo havaa main jhoolte thay,
Woh fazaa ko dekhte hain to ab aaah bhar rahe hain,

Barri aarzuu thi hum ko naye khawb dekhne ki,
So ab apni zindagi main naye khawb bhar rahe hain,

Koi aur to nahin hai pas-e-khanjjar-azmaayi,
Hameen qatal ho rahe hain hameen qatal kar rahe hain..

Qurbat bhi nahin dil se utar bhi nahin jata,
Woh shakhss koi faisla kar bhi nahin jata,

Ankhen hain ke khaali nahin rehti hain lahuu se,
Aur zakham-e-judai hai ke bhar bhi nahin jata,

Woh rahat-e-jaan hain magar is darbadri main,
Aesa hai ke ab dheyaan udhar bhi nahin jata,

Hum dohri aziyat ke giraftaar musaafir,
Paaon bhi hain shall shauq-e-safar bhi nahin jata,

Dil ko teri chahat pe bharosa bhi bohat hai,
Aur tujh se bicharr jaane ka ddar bhi nahin jata,

Pagal huye jaate ho ‘faraz’ us se mile kya,
Itni si khushi se koi mar bhi nahin jata..

Kon aye ga yahan koi na aaya hoga,
Mera darwaaza hawaaon ne hilaaya hoga,

Dil-e-nadaan na dharrak ae dil-e-nadaan na dharrak,
Koi khhat leke parrosi ke ghar aya hoga,

Is gulistaan ki yehi reet hai ay shaakh-e-gul,
Tu ne jis phool ko paala woh paraaya hoga,

Dil ki qismat hi main likha tha andhera shayed,
Warna masjid ka diyaa kis ne bhujaaya hoga,

Gul se liptti hui titlee ko giraa kar dekho,
Aandhiyo tum ne darakhton ko giraya hoga,

Khelne ke liye bache nikal aye hon ge,
Chaand ab uss ki gali main utar aaya hoga,

‘kaif’ pardes main mat yaad karo apna makaan,
Ab ke barish ne usay torr giraya hoga..

Sitaaron se agay jahan aur bhi hain,
Abhi ishq ke imtihaan aur bhi hain,

Tahi zindagi se nahin yeh fazaayen,
Yahan sainkrron kaarwaan aur bhi hain,

Qanaaat na kar aalam-e- rang-o-buu pr,
Chaman aur bhi aashiyaan aur bhi hain,

Agar kho geya ik nasheman to kya gham,
Maqamaat aah-o-faghaan aur bhi hain,

Tu shaaheen hai parvaaz hai kaam tera,
Tere saamne aasmaan aur bhi hain,

Isi roz-o-shab main ulajh kar na reh ja,
Ke tere zamaan-o-makaan aur bhi hain,

Gaye din ke tanhaa tha main anjumann main,
Yahan ab mere raazdaan aur bhi hain..

Be-qaraari si be-qaraari hai,
Vasl hai aur firaaq taari hai,

Jo guzaari na ja saki hum se,
Hum ne woh zindagi guzaari hai,

Nagharey kya huye ke logon pr,
Apna saaya bhi ab to bhaari hai,

Bin tumhare kabhi nahin aayi,
Kya meri neend bhi tumhari hai,

Aap main kaise aaaon main tujh bin,
Saans jo chal rahi hai aari hai,

Uss se kahiyo ke dil ki galiyon main,
Raat din teri intezaari hai,

Hijr ho ya visaal ho kuch ho,
Hum hain aur us ki yadgaari hai,

Ik mehak samt-e-dil se aayi thi,
Main yeh samjhaa teri savaari hai,

Haadson ka hisaab hai apna,
Warna har aaan sab ki baari hai,

Khush rahe tu ke zindagi apni,
Umar bhar ki umeed-vaari hai..

Raasta hai ke katt’ta jaata hai,
Faasla hai ke kamm nahin hota..

Sar main saudaa bhi nahin, dil main tamanna bhi nahin,
Lekin is tarkk-e-mohabbat ka bharossa bhi nahin,

Dil ki ginti na yagaanon main na begaanon main,
Lekin us jalvaa-gah-e-naz se uthta bhi nahin,

Shikwa -e-jaur kare kya koi us shokh se jo,
Saaf qaayel bhi nahin saaf mukartaa bhi nahin,

Meherbaani ko mohabbat nahin kehte aye dost,
Aah ab mujh se teri ranjish -e-bejaa bhi nahin,

Ek muddat se teri yaad bhi aayi nahin humen,
Aur hum bhool gaye hon tujhe aesa bhi nahin,

Yeh bhi sach hai ke mohabbat pe nahin main majboor,
Yeh bhi sach hai ke tera hussn kuch aisa bhi nahin,

Yuun to hungaame uthaate nahin deewaana-e-ishq,
Magar ae dost kuch aison ka thikaana bhi nahin,

Fitrat -e-hussn ko maloom hai tujh ko humdum,
Chaara hi ka hai ba-juzz sabr to hota bhi nahin,

Muuh se hum apne bura to nahin kehte ke firaq,
Hai tera dost magar aadmi achaa bhi nahin..

Na haara hai ishq aur na duniya thaki hai,
Diyaa jal raha hai havaa chal rahi hai,

Sukoon hi sukoon hai khushi hi khushi hai,
Tera gham salaamat mujhe kya kammi hai,

Charaghon ke badle makaan jal rahe hain,
Naya hai zamaana nayi roshni hai,

Aray o jafaaon pe chup rehne walo,
Khamoshi jafaaon ki taayid bhi hai,

Mera rehbar mujh ko gumraah na kar de,
Suna hai ke manzil qareeb aa rahi hai,

Khumar -e- bala-nosh ki to aur tauba,
Tujhe zaahidon ki nazar lag gayi hai..

Yaadon ka hisaab rakh raha hoon,
Seenay main azaab rakh raha hoon,

Tum kuch kahe jaao kya kahoon main,
Bas dil main jawaab rakh raha hoon,

Daaman main kiye hain jammaa girdaab,
Jebon main habaab rakh raha hoon,

Aaye ga woh nakhauti so main bhi,
Kamre ko kharab rakh raha hoon,

Tum par main shifaa-e-ha-e-kohna,
Ik taaza kitaab rakh raha hoon..

Raah-e-duur-e-ishq main rota hai kya,
Aage aage dekhiye hota hai kya,

Qaafile main subh ke ik shor hai,
Yaani ghaafil hum chale sota hai kya,

Sabzz hoti hi nahin yeh sarzameen,
Tukhm-e-khawish dil main tu bota hai kya,

Yeh nishaan-e-ishq hain jaate nahin,
Daaagh chaati ke abass dhota hai kya,

Ghairat-e-yusuf hai yeh waqt-e-aziz,
Meer is ko raayegan khota hai kya..
