New Ghazal


By RAZA ELAHI

Likha hai tum ne sochaa kam hai

Dil diya par vo dhadkaa kam hai

Ishq ko ranga to hai jaana

Par ghazal main ab vo sja kam hai

Kya kaha tum hi payar ho mera

Rahne do, aisa to suna kam hai

Jasarat kar ke kahta hun ye

Tere dil main 'Raza' rahta kam hai

لکھا ہے تم نے سوچا کم ہے

دل دیا پر وہ دھڑکا کم ہے

عشق کو رنگا تو ہے جانا

پرغزل میں اب وہ سجا کم ہے

کیا کہا تم ہی پیار ہو میرا

رہنے دو، ایسا تو سنا کم ہے

جسارت کرکے کہتا ہوں یہ

تیرے دل میں 'رضا' رہتا کم ہے

Naye Puraane Qisson Ki Dilli


By Raza Elahi

Kabhi ek khavaab thi Dilli

Kabhi lajawaab thi Dilli

Kabhi kisi ke pass thi Dilli

Kabhi kisi se duur rahi Dilli

Sufiyon ka mansab thi Dilli

Shayaron ka markaz thi Dilli

Aalam mein intekhaab thi Dilli

Aur aashiqon ki jaan rahi Dilli

Hindavi se Urdu tak ke safar ki Dilli

Ghalib ke khatoot ka mazmoon rahi Dilli

Naye puraane qisson ki Dilli

Mehrauli se le kar Purani Dilli
