Biography
Ghazals by Jan Nisar Akhtar
Kaun Kahta Hai Tujhe Main Ne Bhula Rakha
Ham Se Bhaaga Na Karo Door Ghazaalon Ki
Ashaar Mere Yoon To Zamaane Ke Liye Hain
Subah Ki Aas Kisi Lamhe Jo Ghat Jaati Hai
Rahi Hai Daad Talab Unki Shokhiyaan Ham Se
Tamaam Umr Azaabon Ka Silasilaa To Raha
Fursat-E-Kaar Faqat Chaar Ghadi Hai Yaaro
Sau Chaand Bhi Chamaken Ge To Kya Baat Bane Gi
Zaraa Si Baat Pe Har Rasm Tod Aayaa Tha
Mauj-E-Gul, Mauj-E-Sabaa, Mauj-E-Sahar Lag
Poochh Na Mujh Se Dil Ke Fasaane
Tum Apni Yaad Bhi Dil Se Bhula Jaate To
