Why are you insisting on closure of this thread, it's a nice topic
everybody has different likes and dislikes,
don't get disheartened by some rude comments here,
u r definitely gonna find some great lovers of shayri here too, keep ur work going on, even if u don't get any favourable responses.

Gulzaar sahab ki ye nazm mujhe bahut pasand hai :-
नज़्म उलझी हुई है सीने में,
मिसरे अटके हुए है होठो पर
उड़ते फिरते है तितलियों की तरह
लफ्ज़ कागज़ पे बैठते ही नहीं
कब से बैठा हूँ मैं जानम
सादे कागज़ पे लिखके नाम तेरा
बस तेरा नाम ही मुकम्मल है
इससे बेहतर भी नज़्म क्या होगी
 
Hi Mishti,

I didnt get disheartened or take offense with what Phogat or "rana from haryana" said otherwise I would have replied same day when i saw their comments. But I think this thread is not adding any value to this site and I found another forum where Lot of people want me to share this + they can share their collection which would be more productive.

I dont think rana's comments are offensive but they are just out of ignorance of not understanding Urdu or Galib.

So I have nothing more to contribute on this thread if you guys want to keep it open you can.

Imaa.N mujhe roke hai jo khii.nche hai mujhe kufr
Kaabaa mere piichhe hai kaliisaa mere aage

Cheers!
 
Pucochte hain ke 'GHalib Kaun Hai,
Koi Hamein Bataao ki Hum batayen Kya?

'GHalib' chuTi sharaab par ab bhi kabHi kabHi
peeta hooN roj-e-abro shab-e-maahtaab meiN

nikalna KHuld se aadam ka sunte aayaiN haiN lekin
bohot be_aabru hokar tere kooche se ham nikle

fikr-e-duniyaaN meiN sar khapaata hooN
maiN kahaaN aur ye wabaal kahaaN ?

ham_pesha-o-ham_masharb-o-ham_raaz hai mera
'GHalib' ko bura kyoN kaho achchaa mere aage !


Ug raha hai dar-o-deewar pe sabza ghalib;
Hum biyabaan mein hain aur ghar mein bahaar aai hai.
