TOP 10

Arts & Culture Poetry ( Intikhaab & Sho'ra-e-Gupshup)

Here is an idea I guess you will like.

Members will post one shier on a given word. For instance, aaNkheiN, baarish, etc. There will be total 10 sheirs on first-come-first-post basis. After 10, no sheir will be accepted and the moderator will lock the thread. The moderator will also select the best sheir from the 10 and the member whose sheir will be selected, will have the right to suggest the new topic-word. Here is the summery of rules and regulations.

1: The given word must be mentioned somewhere in the sheir you post!

2: Only one sheir is allowed per member. So think before you post!

3: This thread will end with 10 sheirs. Nothing after 10 will be counted! So if you are late, wait for the next TOP 10.

4: The member whose sheir will be selected as the Best (by one of the moderators), will start the new thread under the title of TOP 10 with a word of his/her own choice and also with first sheir coming from him/her. Also note that an already given topic-word could be repeated.(please also include this summery of rules.)

5: No member, participating or just viewing, will make any comment.

A NOTE FOR MODS: I’m starting this thread without your permission and I’m sorry for that since it essentialy involves at least one of you. We will be highly obliged if you could please lock the thread after 10 sheirs and select, according to your choice, the best sheir from the 10. Thanx

I start this TOP 10 and the topic-word is “dil”

Dil-e-Naadan tujhe hua kya hai

Acha silsila hai Amal :) good idea.

Dil kii baat laboN par laakar ab tak ham dukh sahate haiN
ham ne sunaa thaa is bastii mein dil vaale bhii rahate haiN

biit gayaa saavan kaa mahiinaa mausam ne nazareNn badalii
lekin in pyaasii aaNkhon mein ab tak aaNsuu bahate haiN.

aaj kisi ne baton baton main jab un ka nam liya
dill ne jaisay tokhar khaye, dard ne bharh kar tham liya
ghar se daman jharh kar niklay, wehshat ka sama'a na poch
yani gird-e rah se hum ne rakht-e safr ka kam liya

~~~Kal raat barasti rahi sawan ki ghata bhi
aur hum bhi tere yaad mein dil khol kae royee~~~

Gham aur khushiyan hamain Khuda kae aur nazdeek ker daeti hain, hamain is baat ka yaqeen ho jata hai kae hamarae liyae jo rasta Khudawand kareem nae banaya hai, hamain sirif usi pae chalna hai aur ham apni merzi sae aik kadam idhar sae udhar nahin ker saktae.

"I hate the way you're always right, I hate it when
you lie. I hate it
when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me
cry. I hate it when you're not around and the fact
that you didn't call, but mostly I hate
the way I don't hate you...not even close,not even a
little bit, not
even at all."

Hum ne khud hi kahA thA palat kar na dekhne ko
ke ye dil bohat khush_fah'M sa thara hai
khud hi judaiyo ko naseeb kardiyA
kyu phir ankH maiN ashk sa tharA hai
