Urdu Poets

Kisi ke kandhey se jo dupatta sirakte dekha,
Yoon laga jese baadal baraste dekha,

Mehsoos huyi mohabbat ki takat ab,
Apni ankhon se tufaan murrte dekha,

Maanti thi mantain mere liye jo Khuda se,
Usey kisi aur ko chahte huye dekha,

Jo ubhar gaye they tere door jane se,
Tere aney per woh zakham bharte huye dekha,

Nahin thi tu tou pass kuch bhi nahin tha,
Tujh se milne par naseeb khulte huye dekha,

Hussnain zameen par tarapti huyi machli ki tarah,
Khud ko tere bin machalte dekha…

Koi gham, Koi Hijr-e-Aabshaar bhi nahi
Dil ko magar pehla sa qarar bhi nahi

Talaash kar rehzano ke beech gham khawaro ko
Tere shehar ke sabhi loag adakaar bhi nahi

Haatho se apnay hi ghont dia ghala mohabbat ka
Bharay shehar mai hum sa koi Nadaar bhi nahi

Badal gya bichar kar, yun khad-o-haal tera
Chehray par ab tere wo Gull-Azaar bhi nahi

Kaha tha tum ne ke bhula de gaye ab uss ko
Aye dil-e-nadan tujh sa Ghadaar bhi nahi

Na nikaal mujhe apnay dil se Malazmo ki tarha
Mere pass to aur koi Rozgaar bhi nahi

” Hasnain ” Barsoo ke baad mila to yu laga mujh ko
Darmyan hamaray ab Ana’a ki deewar bhi nahi

Naseeb Aazmaane Ke Din Aa Rahe Hain
Qareeb Un Ke Aane Ke Din Aa Rahe Hain

Jo Dil Se Kaha Hai Jo Dil Se Suna Hai
Sab Un Ko Sunane Ke Din Aa Rahe Hain

Abhi Se Dil-O-Jaan Sar-E-Raah Rakh Do
Ke Lutne Lutaane Ke Din Aa Rahe Hain

Tapakne Lagi Un Nigaahon Se Masti
Nigahain Churaane Ke Din Aa Rahe Hain

Saba Phir Hamain Puuchti Phir Rahi Hai
Chaman Ko Sajaane Ke Din Aa Rahe Hain

Chalo “Faiz” Phir Se Kahin Dil Lagain
Suna Hai Thikaane Ke Din Aa Rahe Hain

Shab-e-Firaaq Tou Kat’ti Nazar Nahi Aati,
Khayaal-e-Yaar Mein Aao Faraz So Jayein…!

Zahid sharab peene de masjid mein beth kar,
Yaa woh jagha bata jahan Khuda nahin..
(Mirza Ghalib)

Masjid khuda ka ghar hai, peeney ki jagha nahin,
Kaafir ke dil mein ja, Wahan khudaa nahin..
(Allama Iqbal)

Kaafir ke dil se aya hon mein yeh dekh kar,
Khuda maujood hai wahan, Par usey pata nahin..
(Ahmad Faraz)

Na Walwalay Wo Rahay Aur Na Wo Zamaana Raha
Samaa Hayaat Ka Laikin Sadaa Suhaana Raha

Ghazal Haraam Howi, Husn Per Lagay Pehray
Mera Mizaaj Magar Phir Bhi Shayaraana Raha

Khuda Bhi Maan Liya, Bandagi Bhi Ki Oski
Taaluq Os Se Magar Apna Gaayebaana Raha

Likha Howa Tha Mera Maazi Jis Ke Tinkon Par
Meri Uraan Mein Haayil Wo Aashyaana Raha

Paron Ke Dhair Lagay Hain Wahan Wahan Ab Bhi
Jahaan Jahaan Kisi Panchi Ka Aashyaana Raha

Kaheen Kaheen Koi Raahat, Kaheen Kaheen Koi Zakham
Mere Naseeb Ka Manzar Wohi Puraana Raha

Qateel Tark-e-Maraasim Wo Kar Gaya Phir Bhi
Salook Oska Mere Saath Dostaana Raha

Na janey kyon aaj bhi yeh ehsaas hota hai,
Tu saath nahin, phir bhi paas hota hai,

Jo dil-e-sheher aik baar barbaar ho jaye,
Mudatton baad woh phir se abaad hota hai,

Kabhi yoon bhi hota hai ke jise apna samjha jaye,
Waqt aaney per woh shakhs hi paraya hota hai,

Tu chala jata hai jab bhi chorr kar mujhe,
Dil ke koney ke, Tu kahin paas hota hai,

Pagal ko samajhne ke liye zarourat nahin hain hawalon ki,
Bass ek lafz “Mohabbat” hi kaafi hota hai,

Aankhon se behte huye samandar ko paani na samaj,
Yaad karte huye tujhe, Meri ankhon mein lahuu hota hai,

Lot’te nahin hain dobara jo ek baar chale jate hain,
Magar phir bhi duayon ki umeed mein tu hi aas hota hai,

Tere siwaa mere kaano ko koi sadaa pasand nahin ati,
Bas ek tu hi meri dharkan ki awaz hota hai,

Bhattak jata hoon mein jab bhi ghamon ke saye mein,
Dilaasey ke liye mere pass teri yaad ka jugnu hota hai,

Hamare naseeb mein kahan hai tujse milna,
Hamare liye to khawb ka jahan hi haqeeqat hota hai,

Raat kitni hi taweeel kyon na ho jaye Hussnain,
Aik na aik din zaroor sawera hota hai…

Sirf Tere Haathon Ko Choomon Teri Bait Chaahoon
So Dar Chhor Ke Teri Ik Haseen Karaamat Chaahon

Thoray Thoray Din Kaatay Hain Kitni Hee Galyon Mein
Aakhri Baar Tere Dil Mein Ay Dost Sakoonat Chaahon

Aa Mein Koi Dhang Sikhaaon Tujhko Baichaini Ka
Tera Dost Hun Apni Si Teri Bhi Haalat Chaahon

Tere Zehen Ki Chaandi Aur Tere Badan Ka Sona
Apna Jism Luta Kar Bhi Mein Sirf Ye Daulat Chaahon

Ooper Waala Pooch Hee Baithay Mujhse Tou Mein Buzdil
Tujh Se Khul Kar Baatain Kar Saknay Ki Himmat Chaahon

Be-Garzi Ki Aakhri Had Per Banaa Qateel Jo Saathi
WOhi Tou Hai Ik Shaks Jisay Mein Binaa Zaroorat Chaahon

Kya kya hamare khawb they, jane kahan pe kho gaye,
Tum bhi kisi ke sath ho, Hum bhi kisi ke ho gaye,

Jane woh kyon they, Kaun they? aaye they kis liye yahan,
Woh jo fashaar-e-waqt mein, Bojh sa aik ddho gaye,

Us ki nazar ne yoon kiya gard-e-malal-e-jaan ko saaf,
Abar baras ke jis tarah, Saarey chaman ko dho gaye,

Katne se aur barhti hai uthey huye sarun ki fassal,
Apne lahu se ahl-e-dil, Beej yeh kese bo gaye,

Jin ke bagher ik pal, Jeena bhi muhaal tha,
Shaklain bhi un ki bujh gayin, Naam bi un ke kho gaye,

Ankhon mein bhar ke rut jage, Raston ko de ke duriyan,
Amjad woh apne hamsafar, Kese mazey se so gaye…

Guzarta hoon mein jab bhi tere sheher ki galiyon se,
Beeti sadayen rakss karti hain tere ashiyane se,

Karta hon yaad mein tujhe jab bhi,
Ik aaah si uthti hai mere seeney mein,

Puchte hain log mujhse be-basi ka sabab,
Kehta hon ke dil lagaya tha ek pathar se,

Mar kar bhi na bhula paaon ga mein woh lamhe,
Khelta tha mein jab bhi teri naachti zulfon se,

Rehta hai ik bacha sa mere wajood mein Husnain,
Behelta hai jo teri yaadon ke khilone se..
