This ghazal reminded me of this sher that is one of my favourites. Hope you enjoy it
Chand kaliyaan nishaat ki chun k
muddatein mehv-o-yaas rehta hun
Un se milna khushi ki baat sahi
Un se mil kar udaas rehta hoon
great great work sahab…….. aap hi logon ne shayari ko zinda rakha hai…hats off to u
Aapki Shaiyri aabile taareef hai, padh kar kaafi accha laga.
Thanks Pankaj. I’m sure you’re complimenting Khumar sahab 🙂
Correction to the wordings:
Chand Kaliyaan Nashaat Ki Chunakar
Muddaton Mahv-E-Yaas Rahataa Hun
Teraa Milanaa Khushi Ki Baat Sahi
Tujhase Mil Kar Udaas Rahataa Hun
