Hi ! Folks,
Just wanted to share with you that this one is my 100th Ghazal
posting
on India Digest since I started on Dec. 14th last year. It gives
me
immense pleasure to know that there are people out there who like
what
I post. I want to thank all of you for your encouragement and
love for
ghazals. It is your encouragement and my love for ghazals
which keeps
me going. I will try to keep posting till I reach next goal of
200.
Thanks once again and wish you all a very very happy festive
season.

Badnaam meray pyaar ka afsaana hua hai,
Deewaanay bhi kehtay hain ki deewaana hua hai !
[My love story has become disreputable,
Even crazy people say that I have become crazy !]
Rishta tha tabhi to kisi be-dard nay toda,
Apna tha tabhi to koi be-gana hua hai !
[There was some relationship, and that is why
some merciless person broke that,
She was mine and that is why she has become a stranger now !]
Baadal ki tarah aa kay baras jaayey ik din,
Dil aapkay hotay huey veeraana hua hai !
[Please come and pour like a bursting cloud,
Inspite of you being there, my heart has become a ruined place !]
Bajtay hain khayalon may teri yaad kay
ghungroo,
Kuch din say mera ghar bhi pari-khana hua hai !
[Bells of your memories ring in my thoughts,
For last few days, even my house has become a fairy place !]
Mausam nay banaaya hai nikhaon ko sharaabi,
Jis phool ko dekhoon wahi paimana hua hai !
[This weather has affected me such that I feel
like drunk,
Whichever flower I look at, it feels as if it is a wine goblet !]
Badnaam meray pyaar ka afsaana hua hai,
Deewaanay bhi kehtay hain ki deewaana hua hai !
