The Ghazals

"vo aaye ghar me.n hamaare Khudaa kii qudrat hai kabhi ham un ko kabhii apane ghar ko dekhate hai.n" The beginnings of this evolution can be traced to the early 20th century. Many of its early exponents were classically trained singers who specialized in Khayaal and Thumri style of singing. However, unlike classical music which to this day is perceived as elitist, ghazals have become popular with the common man. Some of these ghazals have been backlinked to http://www.urdupoetry.com/.

aaj jaane kii zid na karo - Faiyyaz Hashmi

aaj jaane kii zid na karo
yuu.N hii pahaluu me.n baiThe raho
haaye mar jaaye.nge ham to luT jaaye.nge
aisii baate.n kiyaa na karo

tum hii socho zaraa kyuu.N na roke tumhe.n
jaan jaatii hai jab uThake jaate ho tum
tum ko apanii qasam jaan-e-jaa.N
baat itanii merii maan lo

vaqt kii qaid me.n zindagii hai magar
chand gha.Diyaa.N yahii hai.n jo aazaad hai
in ko kho kar abhii jaan-e-jaa.N
umr bhar na tarasate raho

kitanaa maasuum-o-rangiin hai ye samaa
husn aur ishq kii aaj meraaj hai
kal ki kis ko Khabar jaan-e-jaa.N
rok lo aaj kii raat ko
