Perveen Shakir Ghazal

Ajib tarz-e-mulaqat ab k bar rahi

tumhin the badle hue ya meri nigahen thin
tumhari nazron se lagta tha jaise meri bajaye
tumhare ghar main koi aur shakhs aya hai
tumhare ohad ki denen tumhen mubarak

so tum ne mera swagat usi tarah se kiya
jo afsaran-e-hukumat k aitaqad main hai
takallufan mere nazdik a k baith gaye
phir ehtamam se mausam ka zikr cher diya

kuch us k bad siyasat ki bat bhi nikli
adab par bhi koi do char tabsare faramaye
magar na tum ne hamesha ki tarah ye pucha
kya waqt kaisa guzarta hai tera jan-e-hayat

pahar din ki aziyat main kitni shiddat hai
ujar rat ki tanhai kya qayamat hai
shabon ki sust rawi ka tujhe bhi shikwa hai
gam-e-firaq k qisse nishat-e-wasl ka zikr
rawayatan hi sahi koi bat to karte

Another Ghazal By Perveen Shakir

Tujh se koi gilla nahin hai
Qismat main meri silla nahin nahi

Bichar ke to na-janey kia haal ho
Jo shakhs abhi milla nahi hai

Jeeney ki to aarzu hi kab thi
Marney ka bhi hosla nahin hai

Jo zeest ko mu-tabir bana dey
Aesa koi silsila nahin hai

Khushboo ka hisaab ho chuka
Aur phool abhi khilla nahi hai

Sershaari-e-rehbari main dekha
Peechy mera qafilla nahin hai

Ek thais pe dil ka phoot behna
Chooney mein to aabla nahi hai
