Urdu Gazal Quotes

“Mera ishq Mazak nahi hai Jaana”

Mazaq mein hoon, mazaq meri zindagi
Magar mera ishq mazaq nahi hai jaana

Teri yaadon mein basa hai mera dil
Yeh dard, yeh haal, faraq nahi hai jaana

Har pal tujhe sochta hoon mein tanhai mein
Yeh khwab, yeh khayal, saraab nahi hai jaana

Mere ashkon mein chhupi hai teri kahani
Yeh dastaan, yeh bayaan, khaali nahi hai jaana

Har lamha tujh se mohabbat karta hoon mein
Yeh wada, yeh qasam, adakaari nahi hai jaana

Mazaq mein hoon, mazaq meri zindagi
Magar mera ishq mazaq nahi hai jaana”

“Sab Khafa hai”

Zindagi ke mod pe aisa aa poncha hun
Mohabbat bhi naraaz, dost bhi khafa hai
Ghar ke log bhi mujh se door ho gaye hai
Aur khwabon ki duniya bhi veeran pari hai

Dil ki har dhadkan mein dard ka shor hai
Har saans mein bechaini ka dor hai
Taleem ki rahein bhi ajnabi ho gayi
Har rasta jaise andheron mein gum hai

Mohabbat ke chiragh bujhne ko hai
Doston ki baatein ab bojh ban gayi hai
Ghar ka sukoon bhi kahin kho sa gaya
Zindagi ki ronaqein jaise chhup si gayi hai

Ansuon ki qatar, ghamon ki bahar hai
Har khwab adhura, har khwahish beqarar hai
Mohabbat ka rang, ab dhundhla sa para hai
Aur dil ki har umeed, bujh si gayi hai

Zindagi ke is safar mein tanha sa hun
Jahan koi bhi saathi nahin mera
Mohabbat ho, dosti ho, ya taleem ka rasta
Sab kuch ab bikra, sab kuch hai veeran

Phir bhi yeh dil kehta hai, umeed rakhoon
Andheron ke baad roshni zaroor aaye gi
Khwab phir se sajain ge, dil phir se chamke ga
Zindagi ke is safar mein ek naya sooraj ubhrey ga”

“Na to aankhon se juda, dil mein basa hai bas tu
Mere har khwaab ki tabeer hua hai bas tu

Andheron mein bhi ummeedon ka diya roshan hai
Mere ehsaas ki har raah ka ziya hai bas tu

Har dua mein teri khushiyon ka hi mausam maangun
Mere jazbon ki ibaadat ki sada hai bas tu

Waqt ke saahil pe bikhre hue lamhon ke beech
Mere toote hue dil ki bhi dawa hai bas tu

Door reh kar bhi mera dil to yehi kehta hai
Mere har dard ki taskeen o shifa hai bas tu

Jaanid ke dil ki musafat ka sukoon hai bas tu
Shaista, mere ehsaas ki duniya ki wafa hai bas tu”
