Couplets
A small Collection of nice couplets:
------------------------------------------------------
chal saathi, ki hasrat dil-e-mahruum se nikle
aashiq ka janaaza hai zara dhuum se nikle
--- Mirza Mohd. Ali Fidvi
maiN ne itnaa use chaaha hai ki woh jaan-e-muraad
Khud ko zanjiir-e-mohabbat se riha chaahtii hai
--Irfan Siddiqui..
tujhko paa kar bhii terii hi talab siine meN rakhta huN
tamasha karke maiN kashkol ganjiine meN rakhta huN
---Irfan Siddiqui
'Shama-e-tanha ki tarah, subah ke taare jaise
Shahar meN ek hi do honge hamaare jaise'
--Irafan Siddiqui (1939-2004)
raat ko jiit to saktaa nahiin lekin yeh chiraaGh
kam se kam rat ka nuqsaan boh't kartaa hai
---Irfan Siddiqui
dard-e-dil paas-e-wafa jazba-e-iimaaN honaa
hai yahi aadmiyat aur yahii insaaN honaa
---Brijnarayan chakbast..
kaun kahtaa hai ki maut aaii to mar jaauuNgaa
maiN to daryaa huuN samandar meN utar jaauuNga--
Nadeem Qasmi
na kisii ki aaNkh ka nuur hai, na kisii ke dil ka qaraar huuN
jo kisii ke kaam na aa sake maiN woh musht-e-ghubaar huuN
meraa rang ruup bigaR gayaa mera baKht mujhse bichhaR gayaa
jo chaman KhizaaN se ujaR gayaa maiN usii kii fasl-e-bahaar huuN
------Muztar Khairabadi

Interesting Blog !
BTW, one of the couplets is from a ghazal by Emperor-poet Bahadur Shah Zafar instead of Muztar Khairabadi.
He penned these lines when he was deported to Rangoon,(Burma) Myanmar, after the failure of India's first war of independence in 1857.

@ Qais...
I have not enough knowledge of Sher-o-shayaree, I actually got it from Mindspeak blog by Adnan Alavi Sb where he had claimed it to be originally written by Muztar which people later got it confused with Zafar's....but I hope Adnan Sb is the correct person to tell you who ctually Owns that....and I dont mind it whoever had wrote it, what I know is that I like it very much...
in india the problem is that if a song accompanies a film (any historic movie like ghalib or about mughal kings), people think that it is written by the person.
it is surely not bahadur shah zafar's ghazal. just like people think that everything sung by ghulam ali and jagjit singh are written by them. however, n pakistan situation is better and people understand poetry and poets more.
