Works by Alok Srivastava
1. I am a little ahead of you,
I’m poking myself in your eyes
My height is smaller than yours.
But I’m bigger than you think.
2.
Things that are hard to say,
those things are hard to bear
Living in this world we have learned this,
It’s hard to live in this world.
The stream in which it is easiest to flow,
It is difficult to flow in that current
How easy it is with him
It’s hard to even tell you this.
Their taunts are their taunts!
even the hardest things are hard to bear
Those things that seem easy to say,
those things are hard to say
Shers by Azhar Iqbal
1. I felt suffocated when I approached him.
I’m angry at myself for trying to persuade him.
I smoke cigarettes only if you stop me, explain,
I like that you explain to me
Shers and Ghazals by M Turaj
1. If happiness were equal, why would I cry?
If you had found it, what would you have to lose?
They wouldn’t have walked away from me and I wouldn’t have walked away from them.
If this unpleasant incident had not occurred, what would have happened?
Every time I get tired and stop, my shoulders scream
If this life were not a burden, what would there be to carry?
Your fields will remain barren for centuries.
If they do not find me in the land, what would there be there to sow?
2. Many mistakes are being made, love is becoming false.
The girl whose reputation has turned bad is now becoming virtuous.
The world is coming together to separate you from me.
Relationships are limited to birthdays.
love is turning into cake
The wonderful verses of Shakeel Azmi
1. His hand is smaller than mine.
Now that person is less with me.
Lust will work but
one less night for love
2. Where will the new look come from now?
Where would I get magic without a trident?
Neither love in the heart nor migration smoke in the breath
Where will the tears in Ghazal’s eyes come from?
live like clouds in the rain story
You are my sorrow, live in the tears of my eyes.
I know you can’t love
So become lust and live in the meaning of the body.
I didn’t throw away the broken mirror
So that you remain scattered in my sign
I can never be your friend again
You stay with me in my enemy-e-jaani
You won’t like this New Delhi.
Come back Miri darling, stay the old way.
Poetry by Nawaz Devambadi
1. Those who saw the house on fire, the thatched roof is theirs.
There is a strong wind behind you, destiny is in front of you.
I too kept silent about his murder, now my turn has come.
You are also silent about my murder, the next is yours.
The lamps of love that are scared by the storm,
Go tell them we make fireflies…
2. Wait for kings, beggars don’t have that much time.
The heirs on whom I wasted the world’s riches have wrapped me in a shroud.
It’s okay for illiterate people, educated people should be human beings.
Hindu or Muslim, whatever is written on your forehead, but you should have Hindustan on your chest.
Ghazal by Farhat Ehsaas
1. If you love him, why don’t you dare?
Why don’t you make Raqs-e-Vashat at their doorstep someday?
Are you receiving treatment from who knows who?
Try to love and see why don’t you love?
We have seen our name written in your heart.
Our things so why don’t you give us kindness?
Regarding Miri’s complaint of lack of love, he said
Why don’t you protect the things in your house?
The face of the house of hope has been sitting for a long time.
So why don’t you forgive the collection by giving it?
In order to see the end of the world, we die for you.
Why don’t the doomsayers make the end of the world happen now?
The wonderful couplets of Wasim Barelvi
1. Times are tough
they are taking us for granted
Wherever my heart hesitates to go
the path goes to the same person
desperate to get along with someone
something is getting out of hand
what I should have felt
they are looking at him through the eyes
2. The beauty of the streets is great.
but the man has become lonely
he looked carefully
So, have you gained confidence in yourself?
Lions by Gautam Rajrishi
1. A moment has passed or a long time has passed
Who is the one who has conspired with time?
Now this age has passed and I think of you.
Yes, it’s happened so much that I’ve gotten a little better.
When confined, it was fine in the palm of my hand.
When his lips reached mine, every vein shattered.
2. Whatever you want to see, I just wait a while.
I am a scene long after scenes.
