My Favourite Urdu Gazal

 




رخسار    پہ جھلکی ہے  ضِیا  کھینچ کے حیرت

آنکھوں نے کیا حُسن دعا کھینچ کے حیرت


اسرارِ ازل  پردۂ   امکان  میں چھپ کر

ہر رمز ہے معنی کی ادا کھینچ کے حیرت


پیمانۂ ہستی میں ترے لب کی ہے خوشبو

مے خانہ  بھی کرتا ہے  نوا  کھینچ کے حیرت


افکار کے طوفاں میں ترا نام ہے جگمگ

تصویر  ہے معنی   کی   بنا کھینچ کے حیرت


تقدیر  کے صحرا  میں ترا نقشِ کفِ پا

کرتا ہے مرا قافلہ را کھینچ کے حیرت


عالم  کے  اسرار  ترے  چشم  میں  ہیں  محو

افلاک بھی کرتے ہیں ادا کھینچ کے حیرت


گہوارۂ امواج  میں  خوابیدہ  ہے  صورت

دریا سے نکلتی ہے صدا کھینچ کے حیرت


ہر   ذرّہ  ترے حسن   کو تسلیم  کرے  ہے

خورشید ہے مٹی میں چھپا کھینچ کے حیرت


ذیشانؔ نے لکھ دی ہے غزل شوق سے آخر

اشعار نے کی   جاں  کو  وفا  کھینچ کے حیرت



ذیشانؔ امیر سلیمی

   Whispers of the Infinite: The Philosophical World of Zeeshan Ameer Saleemi Written by Dr. Maya Thompson (Department of Comparative Literature, Columbia University, USA) Endorsed by Dr. Ananya Mehta (India) A Soul Who Writes What Silence Feels In every generation, there emerges a poet whose words do not merely describe emotion they become emotion itself. Zeeshan Ameer Saleemi is one such luminous voice, a poet who writes not to impress the mind, but to awaken the soul. His poetry flows like a sacred current delicate, deep, and divinely human. As a literary scholar and writer based in the United States, I have encountered many poets across continents and cultures, but the meditative brilliance of Zeeshan’s work stands apart. He writes with a kind of spiritual calmness, as if each verse is drawn from the invisible breath of eternity. His collection, Hijr Nama, is not a book it is a revelation. It teaches us that grief, when touched by understanding, transforms into wisdom; tha...
