We only listen to ghazal
because ghazal listens to us.

Makaan toh mil jaate hain, magar ghar nahin milta,
Aur ghar jaane ka waqt nahin milta,
Puchhta hai jab koi khush toh bohot hoge bade shehar mein,
Muskura kar kehte hain ki khush rehna padta hai bade shehar mein.

-

Khamoshi jab sabr se milti hai,
Waqt ka dil pighal jaata hai.

-

Aaj shab nind nahin aayegi,
Tum dil se utar rahe ho,

Aur thhik tumhare pichche
chal rahin hun main dabe paon,

Kar rahi hu intezaar ki mud kar dekhoge,
Maun ne mera haath thama hai,

Is baar naam nahin pukarungi mai,
Darwaja band kar ke laut aaungi mai,

Aur fir rakh dungi yaadon ka bojh apni kalam par,
Udhel dungi hijr ka gham khaali pannon par,

Subah hone tak ho jaaungi wo
jise mile the tum pehli baar,
Beshak is dafa behad khoobsurat aur beshumaar,
Thhik manzil e hayat ki tarah.

Whenever I ask myself and don't receive answer, I never ask again, that's the way I know it's the right time to fall on knees, breakdown, cry shamelessly and declare that I don't need to be answerable to everything happening in my life.

-

Ek shakhs ko puri tarah samajhne ka safar adhura rehna zaruri hai,
Kise hui hai tasalli kitaabe puri padh kar, har koi utarna chahta hai use apne dhang me.

you try to read without glasses-

-

Rok rakhi hai tumne raat jiske liye,
Wo tumhe chhod jaayega chaand ke sahaare

-

Having action louder than words lands you in a friend circle with zero radius.

-

You've brought me so close to you that now when you're gone, it is too far to look for myself.
