Ghazal
Anaa rahi na meri mutlaq-ul-unaani ki
Mere wujood pe ek dil ne hukmraani ki
Karam kiya ki bikharne diya na usne mujhe
Mere junoon ki hifazat ki, meherbaani ki
Pahaad katna ek mashghala tha, bachpan se
Kadey dinon mein bhi teshe se naujawani ki [Kadey=tough, Tesha=axe*]
Azl se husn ka apna mizaaj tha yahi
Yahi ki dasht mein aaye the, baaghbaani ki
Badan ki udne ko par taulta parinda saa
Kisi kamaan see chadhti nadi jawani ki
Sunai khwaab mein us gul to dil ki bechaini
Naseem-e-sehen chaman ne jo aana kaani ki
'Kamaal' main ne to dar se diye uthaye nahin
Uthai usne hi deewaar badgumaani ki
It is a nice ghazal by Abdullah Kamaal. I plan to bring more of modern and contemporary ghazals right now because we have enough of classical poetry on the net.

Thanks for the correction.
Do you have translations for these ghazals? I can speak urdu but not well enough to understand ghazals, naats, etc.
same here....didnt get half of it...!
Not tough just give it a read 2-3 times, though you may not have that much time, but then the true pleasure in reading and understanding.
