Shair should be genuine and not your own.
— > Post your own in Bait Bazi — Personal Edition of Sho’ra-e-Gupshup.
Dont break the chain and always follow the last letter of the last posted shair.
Always mention the last urdu alphabet of your shair.
If you know the name of the poet, mention that (for other’s knowledge sake).
Do not write out the whole ghazal/nazam; only two shairs (i.e. Rubai, qita) at max will be allowed.

Apna dil hi apni tabaahi ka sabab hota hai
Yeh jawaani ka zamaana bhi ajjab hota hai
Jaane kis baat ne dil torr diya kis ka
Bolnay wale ko ehsaas hi kab hota hai ...
