Over the next few days, I shall be sharing a few ghazals sent to me 
by Abhay Ghasias, who has been a member of Mehfil-e-Gazal for quite 
some time now and is also a regular visitor to the Urdu Poetry Archive 
(www.urdupoetry.com). Thank you, Abhay.

Today's ghazal is by Shakeel Badayuni. 


terii mahafil se uThakar ishq ke maaro.n pe kyaa guzarii
muKhaalif ik jahaa.N thaa jaane bechaaro.n pe kyaa guzarii

sahar ko ruKhsat-e-biimaar-e-furqat dekhane vaalo
kisii ne ye bhii dekhaa raat bhar taaro.n pe kyaa guzarii

sunaa hai zindagii viiraaniyo.n ne luuT lii milakar
na jaane zindagii ke naaz_bardaaro.n pe kyaa guzarii

ha.Nsii aa_ii to hai bekaif sii lekin Khudaa jaane
mujhe masaruur paakar mere Gam_Khvaaro.n pe kyaa guzarii

asiir-e-Gam to jaa.N dekar rihaa_ii paa gayaa lekin
kisii ko kyaa Khabar zindaa.N kii divaaro.n pe kyaa guzarii
