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.
Woh mujh se pooch raha thaa batao kaisa laga
Tum aglay zakhmoon ko choro yeh ghao kaisa laga
Ajab sawaal kia hai aandheyoon ne pattoon se
Shajjar se toot ke girna batao kaisa laga
Hawaaon ki tarannum main gana merey liye geet
Woh tamam shab mujhay takta rehna chupkay say
Aas hay kay phir say lot ayengey woh din woh raat
Warna ay umar-e-rawaan uhin beet jana chupkay say
*Dil ke lutne ka sabab poocho na sab ke saamnay
Naam aayega tumhaara yeh kahaani phir sahi
Ay wafa na-aashnaa, mausam teri judaee ka
Kis tarha hum ne guzaara, yeh kahaani phir sahi

*Rokay kahaan rukay hain muhabbat ke kafilay
Bas yun huwa ke dil ne zamaane badal leeyay
Socha ussay tu na milne ki thaan lee
Dekha ussay tu saray bahaane badal deyay *
Ye sabhi weraniyaa'n uss ke juda honay say theen
aankh dhundalai hoi thi shehr dhundlayaa na tha
yaad kar ke aur bhi taqleef hoti hai adeem
ab sawaye bhool jaanay ke koi chara na tha
