Urdu daan

I think of you, because the entire world brings you to me.

Wonderfully melancholy Ghazal by Liyaqat sb. Do share your thoughts too.

When a poet wants to say no to a girl, but can't, so this is what i imagine he'll go with!

In the midst of the war that the world is looking at in horror, i was reminded of this beautiful poem by Faiz.

This ghazal that was featured on the tv series Parizaad made it very popular, and very well deservedly so.

A powerfully delivered Ghazal with a very clear and hard hitting style!

Do you know that sher by Jaun, 

Aaj bohot din baad main apne kamre tak aa nikla tha

Jyoon hi darwaza khola hai, uski khushboo aai hai

I would say this is a longer version of this sher by Mustafa sb with his own unique details and imagery. Let me know how you like it.

A hallmark of simplicity and emotion, this ghazal by Mir Asar, Khwaja Mir Dard's brother, is love at first sight.

A beautiful poem about relationships, ego and how there's always doors open.

Bahadur Shah Zafar, the last king of Mughal India, was quite an accomplished poet. This ghazal of his has been sung widely, and I personally believe that the theme of loss, maybe even the loss of power and the throne, which is a constant theme in his works, can also be seen here. Let me know if you think so too.

This is a difficult nazm to bear. For someone who hasn't undergone a 'kaifiyat' such as this, it might even be hard to relate. But it is a painstakingly accurate insight into a, should i say, nihilistic night of a sensitive man.
