GHAZAL OF Azhar Mishra

ek nazar muD ke mujhe dekh ai jaane wale

ik nazar muḌ ke mujhe dekh ai jaane vaale
ye jo lamhe haiñ kabhī phir nahīñ aane vaale

kitnī pākīza jagah hai ki jahāñ par logoñ
ahl-e-maqtal haiñ mirī laash jalāne vaale

ġham-e-daurāñ ke masā.ib kā mudāvā kyā hai
ishq bas ishq batāte haiñ batāne vaale

yahī sab log haiñ in sab ne mirā qatl kiyā
ye mirī qabr ko phūloñ se sajāne vaale

maiñ ne ye baat bahut der se jaanī ‘fahmī’
saare va.ade nahīñ hote haiñ nibhāne vaale

SHER OF Azhar Mishra

āñkhoñ meñ laal Dore se paḌte chale ga.e
aañsū ye kis hunar se pirotā rahā ġhazāl

duur se yuuñ diyā mujhe bosa
hoñT kī hoñT ko ḳhabar na huī

gulāb ḳhvāb sitāre dhanak udaas charāġh
paḌī hai fasl-e-mohabbat kaTī-kaTā.ī sabā

ho na paa.e jab mukammal ishq kā qissa to phir
shohrateñ rahne do ab gum-nāmiyāñ hī Thiik haiñ
