Classic old world romance at it’s best. Khalish Qadri was a brilliant Shair who wrote for the pleasure of writing. He was from Kamptee, a small suburb of Nagpur. Read the complete ghazal:

Wo meri mez par apni kitaab ch-od gaya
phir intezaar ka taaza azaab chod gaya

Hai choor choor badan aur shikan shikan bistar
shab-e-visaal ka ranj-e-hisaab chho-od gaya

Mehak rahi hai abhi aanch uske sansoon ki
labon ke paas dehkhta saraab ch-od gaya

Badan ki kabr mein madfoon kar gaya jaise
ye kis azaab mein mujhko shabab cho-od gaya

Na ranjishon ki kasak hai na khwashon ki humak
har ek zakhm ko be aab-o-taab cho-od gaya
