Dont break the chain and always follow the last posted shair.
If more than one shair is posted in response, follow the last posted shair.
If you know the name of the poet, mention that (for other’s knowledge sake).
We should follow urdu alphabets.
Always mention the last urdu alphabet of your shair. (if it’s “HAMZA” by any chance,
which could hardly be the case, then also mention the second last alphabet).
Do not write out the whole ghazal/nazam; only two shairs (i.e. Rubai, qita) at max
will be allowed.
yaadein chaleen khayal chala ashk-e-tar chale
lekar payaam-e-shauq kai naamabar chale
dil ko sanbhaalate rahe har haadsay pe ham
ab kya karen keh khud tere gesu bikhar chale
Life is like a piano --- what you get out of it,
Depends on how you play it.
na deed ha na sukhan , ab na koi hurf ha na payaam
koi bhi heela i taskeen naheen aur aas bahut ha
umeed i yaar ,nazar ka mizaj ,derd ka rang
tum aaj kuch bhi na poocho kay dil udaas bahut ha :/
in my dreams i was drowning my sorrows , but my sorrows learned to swim
~ye sheeshay'ye sapnay'ye rishtay'ye dhagay
kisay kiya khabar hai kaha toot jaein
mohabbat ke daryaa mai tinkay wafa ke
najaanay ye kis moar par dhoob jaein~
Next word: ye

~Kiya haaq wo jeena hai jo apnay hi liyay ho
Khud mit kar kisi aur ko mitnay se bacha lay~
yay alag bat je tu afsha na howa tu warna
maine tujhay kitna mehsos kiya teray baad
meri dukhti hoye ankhon se gawahaye lena
maine socha tujhay apnay se siwa tear baad
