Today's poet is Qamar Jalalabadi. It seems like a week of poets who 
have made a name for themselves as song writers/lyricists in the Indian film 
industry. :-) This ghazal has been rendered by Ghulam Ali


kabhii kahaa na kisii se tere fasaane ko
na jaane kaise Khabar ho ga_ii zamaane ko

sunaa hai Gair kii mahafil me.n tum na jaaoge
kaho to aaj sajaa luu.N Gariib-Khaane ko

ab aage tum pe mumakin hai ko_ii baat aaye
jo huqm ho to yahii.n chho.D duu.N fasaane ko

duaa bahaar kii maa.Ngii to itane phuul khile
kahii.n jagah na milii mere aashiyaane ko

dabaa ke chal diye sab qabr me.n duaa na salaam
zaraa sii der me.n kyaa ho gayaa zamaane ko

'Qamar' zaraa bhii nahii.n tujhako Khauf-e-rusavaa_ii
ki chaa.ndanii me.n chale ho u.nhe.n manaane ko


A very nice ghazal! Ghulam Ali simply makes it a great one with his 
rendition. :-)
