hum apne zaKHm kuredte hain wo zaKHm parae dhote the
daraKHt ruh ke jhume parind gane lage
khile hain phul ki surat tere visal ke din
bahut malul baDe shadman gae hue hain
khuli jab aankh to dekha ki duniya sar pe rakkhi hai
KHarab-e-dard hue gham-parastiyon mein rahe
jitne marka-e-dil wo lagatar gaya
mizaj-e-sahl-talab apna ruKHsaten mange
lafzon ke sahra mein kya mani ke sarab dikhana bhi
jaane qalam ki aankh mein kis ka zuhur tha
band fasilen shahr ki toDen zat ki girhen kholen
yun bhi dil ahbab ke humne gahe gahe rakkhe the
be-masraf be-hasil dukh
har ek lamhe ki rag mein dard ka rishta dhaDakta hai
sabaq umr ka ya zamane ka hai
maut se aage soch ke aana phir ji lena
Abdul Hamid

ek KHuda par takiya kar ke baiTh gae hain
kuchh apna pata de kar hairan bahut rakkha
panw rukte hi nahin zehn Thaharta hi nahin
sae phail gae kheton par kaisa mausam hone laga
kisi dasht o dar se guzarna bhi kya
kitni mahbub thi zindagi kuchh nahin kuchh nahin
use dekh kar apna mahbub pyara bahut yaad aaya
ek mashal thi bujha di usne
kisi ka qahr kisi ki dua mile to sahi
kabhi dekho to maujon ka taDapna kaisa lagta hai
ajib shai hai ki surat badalti jati hai
dil mein jo baat hai batate nahin
Abul Hasanat Haqqi

baKHshe phir us nigah ne arman nae nae
Ahmad Faraz

silsile toD gaya wo sabhi jate jate
wahshaten baDhti gain hijr ke aazar ke sath
hum bhi shair the kabhi jaan-e-suKHan yaad nahin
is qadar musalsal thin shiddaten judai ki
jaan se ishq aur jahan se gurez
dil-girafta hi sahi bazm saja li jae
dukh fasana nahin ki tujhse kahen
ye shahr sehr-zada hai sada kisi ki nahin
main to maqtal mein bhi qismat ka sikandar nikla
misal-e-dast-e-zuleKHa tapak chahta hai

jab tera hukm mila tark mohabbat kar di
ji chahta hai falak pe jaun
qalam dil mein Duboya ja raha hai
kaun kahta hai ki maut aai to mar jaunga
mudawa habs ka hone laga aahista aahista
patthar
lab-e-KHamosh se ifsha hoga
har lamha agar gurez-pa hai
Ahmad Salman

jo dikh raha usi ke andar jo an-dikha hai wo shairi hai
jo hum pe guzre the ranj sare jo KHud pe guzre to log samjhe

ek shahr tha ek bagh tha
aansuon ke ratjagon se
KHaksari thi ki bin dekhe hi hum KHak hue
hayat-e-soKHta-saman ek istiara-e-sham
meri tanhai ke ejaz mein shamil hai wahi
wahi junun ki soKHta-jaani wahi fusun afsanon ka
aawara bhaTakta raha paigham kisi ka
ghubar-e-jahan mein chhupe ba-kamalon ki saf dekhta hun
ghani siyah zulf badliyon si bila sabab mujh mein jagti hai
yahan ke rang baDe dil-pazir hue hain
badalne ka koi mausam nahin hota
Ajmal Siraj

ghum-phir kar isi kuche ki taraf aaenge

jaane kis baat se dukha hai bahut

wo marka ki aaj bhi sar ho nahin saka
mazid ek bar par bar-e-giran rakkha gaya hai
ki jaise koi musafir watan mein lauT aae
ban ke saya hi sahi sat to hoti hogi
kandhon se zindagi ko utarne nahin diya
kabhi to bante hue aur kabhi bigaDte hue
KHud ko har aarzu ke us par kar liya hai
shahr mein sare charaghon ki ziya KHamosh hai
yun mere hone ko mujh par aashkar usne kiya
ye kar-e-zindagi tha to karna paDa mujhe
Anees Ashfaq

zamana kuchh bhi kahe teri aarzu kar lun
har ek lamha-e-gham bahr-e-be-karan ki tarah
sach ki KHatir sab kuchh khoya kaun likhega
talatum hai na jaan-lewa bhanwar hai
dard ki sakit nadi phir se rawan hone ko hai
samundar se kisi lamhe bhi tughyani nahin jati
ai dil tere tufail jo mujh par sitam hue
kabhi jo uski tamanna zara biphar jae
har ek lamha-e-gham bahr-e-be-karan ki tarah
talatum hai na jaan-lewa bhanwar hai
ai dil tere tufail jo mujh par sitam hue
dard ki sakit nadi phir se rawan hone ko hai
samundar se kisi lamhe bhi tughyani nahin jati
zamana kuchh bhi kahe teri aarzu kar lun
sach ki KHatir sab kuchh khoya kaun likhega
kabhi jo uski tamanna zara biphar jae

meri nigah kahan did-e-husn-e-yar kahan
dil mein yaad-e-but-e-be-pir liye baiTha hun
nazar us chashm pe hai jam liye baiTha hun
husn se sharh hui ishq ke afsane ki
hum aaj khaenge ek tir imtihan ke liye
dur the hosh-o-hawas apne se bhi begana tha
kyun kisi rah-rau se puchhun apni manzil ka pata
wo sar-e-baam kab nahin aata
Ashfaq Husain

zara zara hi sahi aashna to main bhi hun

tere pahlu mein tere dil ke qarin rahna hai

ghar to hamara shoalon ke narghe mein aa gaya
wo mujhse mera taaruf karane aaya tha
qayamat aaegi mana ye hadisa hoga
haqiqaton ka nai rut ki hai irada kya
har ek raat ko mahtab dekhne ke liye
kitaben jab koi paDhta nahin tha
tamam shaKHsiyat uski hasin nazar aai
fikr mein hain hamein bujhane ki
jaane aaya tha kyun makan se main
nazar ki zad mein sar koi nahin hai
Aziz Ansari

ye kis KHalish ne phir is dil mein aashiyana kiya
pas raho
na kisi pe zaKHm ayan koi na kisi ko fikr rafu ki hai
do ishq
teri surat jo dil-nashin ki hai

chand roz aur meri jaan
kahan jaoge

tu mujhko jo is shahr mein laya nahin hota
jism ke par wo diya sa hai
ab dil ki taraf dard ki yalghaar bahut hai
main rona chahta hun KHub rona chahta hun main
sune siyah shahr pe manzar-pazir main
us taraf tu teri yaktai hai
jism ki kuchh aur abhi miTTi nikal
har gali kuche mein rone ki sada meri hai
kabhi hanste nahin kabhi rote nahin kabhi koi gunah nahin karte
Farooq Bakshi

is zamin aasman ke the hi nahin
wo basti yaad aati hai

joker nahin jo hansne-hansane ka kaam hai
panw zanjir parakhne mein abhi kachche hain
yahan to sirf kapason ke rang uDne lage
jab aansuon ke bharose ka zikr chalta hai
tamam raat saDak par hamein biThaya gaya
shauq bujhte nahin nawabi ke
tere hasad ke muqabil koi safai nahin
chhanTi ke chaar log hain jin se kalam hai
pursa-dari ke fan mein taq nahin
KHuda se ishq ho achchhi dua salam na ho
kin ishaaron se muddaa puchhe
ye hum jo aaine chamka rahe hain
Fasih Akmal

de gaya likh kar wo bas itna juda hote hue
ghubar-e-tang-zehni surat-e-KHanjar nikalta hai
muddat se wo KHushbu-e-hina hi nahin aai
kuchh naya karne ki KHwahish mein purane ho gae
kitabon se na danish ki farawani se aaya hai
muztarib dil ki kahani aur hai
ye wo safar hai jahan KHun-baha zaruri hai
kisi ke samne is tarah surKH-ru hogi
pyar jadu hai kisi dil mein utar jaega
chashm-e-hairat ko ta’alluq ki faza tak le gaya
jo tu nahin hai to lagta hai ab ki tu kya hai
munawwar jism-o-jaan hone lage hain
Fatima Hasan

manazir KHub-surat hain
meri zamin pe lagi aap ke nagar mein lagi
kya kahun us se ki jo baat samajhta hi nahin

aankhon mein na zulfon mein na ruKHsar mein dekhen
KHwab girwi rakh diye aankhon ka sauda kar diya
