A New Ghazal by Zaheer Anwar
For Bihar Urdu Youth Forum Patna

KYA KOI JEENE KA ANDAZA LAGE
SABZA PATTHAR PE UGE TAAZA LAGE

JO KHATA AADAM SE JANNAT MEIN HUI
ZINDAGI USKA HI KHAMYAZA LAGE

DOST HAI KUCHH TO TAKALLUF CHAHIYE
WO CHALA JAAYE TO DARWAZA LAGE

JAL GAYE SARE MAKAN TO RAAKH BHI
AB SIYASATDAANO KO GHAZA LAGE

AADMI TUM JISKO KAHTE HO ZAHEER
MUJHKO ARMAANO KA SHEERAZA LAGE

                                                   ZAHEER ANWAR
