Jab Teri Yaadon Ki Purwai Ghazal Gati Hai

Qaisar Siddiqi

jab tiri yadon ki purva.i ghazal gaati hai

phuul khil uThte hain tanha.i ghazal gaati hai

raqs karti hui aati hai tire jism ki yaad

teri TuuTi hui angḌa.i ghazal gaati hai

gudgudati hai tasavvur ko tire ruup ki dhuup

mere jazbat ki shahna.i ghazal gaati hai

ek muddat hui is raah se guzra tha koi

aaj tak dil ki ye angna.i ghazal gaati hai

naghme sargoshi ke lahrate hain panghaT panghaT

tohmaten hansti hain rusva.i ghazal gaati hai

jhuum jhuum uThta hai saaqi tire ‘qaisar’ ka ḳhayal

jab tiri ankhon ki gahra.i ghazal gaati hai
