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.
sub dost meray muntazir parda sab thay
din mein to safer karnay mein deqat bohtu thee
barish makee duaoo mein namee annkh ke mil jayay
jazbay ke kahbhi itne rafaqat bhi bohtu thee
apne tanhae meray naam pe abad karay
kon ho ga jo mujhe us ke trha yaad karay
dil ajab sher ke jis per bhi kohla dar iska
woh musafer ise her simat se barbad karay
Yehi nahee ke mujhe jeenay ki khwahish hai
Mein tere wastay khud ko bhi haar sakta hoon
Mujhe yaqeen tu nahee magar yehi sach hai
Mere tere wastay umrain guzaar sakta hoon
