سلام!

First Ghazal is in بحرِ مضارع

مفعول فاعلات مفاعیل فاعلن

And the second Nazm is in بحرِ مجتث

مفاعلن فعلاتن مفاعلن فِعْلن

برائے مہربانی، تھوڑی بہت اصلاح فرما دیں، تاکہ میری نشوونما ہو سکے۔ شکریہ

when he saw my broken spirit growing wings to soar

he raised his walls still higher than they were before

ہم گزر جائیں اور کوئی ہمیں یاد تک نہ کرے

پروردگار کسی آدم کو اس قدر رسوا بھی نہ کرے

Hum bhool gaye har baat magar tera pyaar nahin bhoole,

Kya kya hua dil ke saath, magar tera pyaar nahin bhoole.

These are not just words but a mirror of existence

اِک نہ اِک روز تو رُخصت کرتا
مُجھ سے کِتنی ہی مُحبّت کرتا

سب رُتیں آ کے چلی جاتیں ہیں
موسمِ غم بھی تو ہجرت کرتا

بھیڑیے مُجھ کو کہاں پا سکتے ؟
وُہ اگر میری حفاظت کرتا

میرے لہجے میں غرور آیا تھا
اُس کو حق تھا کہ شکایت کرتا

کُچھ تو تھی میری خطا ورنہ وُہ کیوں
اِس طرح ترکِ رفاقت کرتا

اور اُس سے نہ رہی کوئی طلب
بس ،،، مِرے پیار کی عزت کرتا

Sunā hai log use aañkh bhar ke dekhte haiñ,

So us ke shahr meñ kuchh din Thahar ke dekhte haiñ.

Sunā hai bole to bātoñ se phuul jhaḌte haiñ,

Ye baat hai to chalo baat kar ke dekhte haiñ.

Sunā hai raat use chāñd taktā rahtā hai,

Sitāre bām-e-falak se utar ke dekhte haiñ.

Bas ik nigāh se luTtā hai qāfila dil kā,

So rah-ravān-e-tamannā bhī Dar ke dekhte haiñ.

Ab us ke shahr meñ Thahreñ ki kuuch kar jaa.eñ,

'Farāz' aao sitāre safar ke dekhte haiñ.

میں نے یوں ہی کہا تھا تجھے میری زندگی کا چاند

تو نے ستاروں میں ہی کیوں اپنا آشیانہ بنا لیا

میں حیران تھا، تیرا چہرہ ہے یا کھلا ہوا گلاب

تو نے ہر بھنورے کو کیوں اپنی طرف کھینچ لیا

میں مدہوش تھا، تیری ہنسی کو جام کہہ بیٹھا

تو نے ہر محفل کو کیوں مے خانہ بنا دیا

میں عاشق تھا، تیری ہر ادا کو محبت سمجھ بیٹھا

تو نے انتظار کو ہی کیوں میرا نصیب بنا دیا
