Perveen Shakir's Ghazals

Naya Dard Ik Dil Mein Jaga Kar Chala Gya.

Naya Dard Aek Dil Mein Jaga Kar Chala Gya.
Kal Phir Woh Mere Sheher Mein Aa Ker Chala Gya.

Jis Se Dhoondta Raha Main Lougon Ki Bherr Mein.
Mujh Se Woh Apna Aap Chupa Kar Chala Gya.

Main Oski Khamoshi Ka Sabab Poochta Raha.
Woh Qisse Idhar Udhar Ke Suna Kar Chala Gya.

Yeh Sochta Hoon Kese Bhulaaoon Ga Ab Osse.
Aek Woh Jo MujhKo Bhula Kar Chala Gya.

Tujh se koi gilla nahin hai

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
