A supposedly improved attempt at writing and reciting a Ghazal. Attempt is the driving word here. Duniya ke liye sahib-e-shakhsiyat hoon main

Khud ke liye bas tumhara intezar hoon main

Mere qareeb ab koi aashna, koi baam-o-deewar nahi

Apni barbadiyon ka khud hi sipah-salaar hoon main

Mashvira ye hai ki jitni jaldi ho sake, qula kar loon main

Khud apne takhayuul se aazad hone ko beqarar hoon main

Yun to na hua ki itna chup raha hoon kabhi main

Haan par ab sunne walo'n se zara hoshiyar hoon main

Koi dekhe to zinda-dili ka aabshaar hoon main

Koi haal poochhe to naala-e-dil-fighar hoon main

Teri furqat mein jo raatein bita di hain maine,

Teri aagosh mein ho kar bhi unka talabgar hoon main

Maine kab ke tark kar diye the ishq ke saare muqaam

Haan par is pur-ummeed dil ke aage be-ikhtiyar hoon main

Bohat gehri jadd'ein hain meri, mujhe chhedne ka phir soch lo

Tum agar fusun-o-khiza'n ho to kaif-o-bahar hoon main

Bichhadte waqt usne kaha tha Ishq jaavedani hai

Uska maan rakhne ke liye uske baad ka sab bhoolne ko tayyar hoon main

This is a very short story about a cat that a friend of mine had and a funny incident that happened with him

An version of Faiz Ahmed Faiz's masterpiece. Came up with this in 2016. Inspired by true events. May help with your appraisal blues.

Raat kaali thi to raat bhar jaagte rahe hum

Diye apne khoon se jalate rahe hum

Dil-e-afsurda ko sanwaarte rahe hum

Akhuvat ke, ek-dili ke geet gaate rahe hum

Unke har chot ko sehlaate rahe hum

Marham apne wajood ka lagate rahe hum

Aansu pochhte, cheekho'n ko behlate rahe hum

Sadak par bikhre hausle uthaate rahe hum

Mumkin tha behekna to hoshiyar rahe hum

Maathe par haunsle taake tayyar rahe hum

Munafiq na ho jaayein so bedaar rahe hum

Na-munsib tha jhukna so yun he bezaar rahe hum

Apne tooti phooti khushiyon mein shaad rahenge hum

afsurdagi mein bhi be-dar-o-baam aabad rahenge hum

Sitam-gar ki bediyo mein bhi tab-e-aazad rahenge hum

Tumhari humari zindagi to faani hai, taareekh mein be-miad rahenge hum

Bohat din hue tumhare saath chai nahi pi

Baith ke baatein nahi ki, ithlaaye bhi nahi.

Tum aur tumhari elaichi jaisi taza-tareen baatein

Main aur Mera adrak se meethe talkh tanz

Mein har baar tumhe dekhta hoon

Aur ram jaata hoon tumhari adakari mein

Kaise aur kab kis baat ko josh ke ubaal se bolna hai

Aur kaise kab bas halke halke muskura kar khaulana

Mera kabhi chai na peene ka guroor bhi to

Tumhari sohbat ki talab ne he toda tha

Ab har dafa chai ki chuski le kar hansi aati hai

Shayad mujhe tumse pyaar tabhi ho gaya tha

Khair ab aao mil bhi lo,

chai peeni hai tumhare saath

Tum har baar ki tarah apne saare qisse sunana

Main ghoonth dar ghoonth Aankho se ye nazm kahunga

Meri aankho ki veeraniya'n na dekh, mujhe bezaar na jaan

Mere maathe ki lakeeron ko dekh, mere safar ko pehchaan

maine tumhari kayi alhad angdaiyo'n ko

apne khwabo'n ke saahil par umadte dekha hai

Meri siyah zindagi ki raushna maine tumhe,

Chaandni raaton mein jugnu'on se ladte dekha hai

Bohat mamooli ada hai palk'on ka uthana aur gir jaana

Is saadgi mein bhi maine dono jahaano'n ko bante bigadte dekha hai

Qaraar-e-ishq, qafas-e-jaan ho chala hai, is mein reh kar kya karoonga,

Tum phone to kar liya karogi mujhe, par main baat kya karoonga
