Here are six ravishing ghazals, setting some of the greatest Urdu poetry of the twentieth century, about love and longing.
Enigmatic, filled with pathos, timeless.

• Eray Dewanay Nay Fitrat He Ajab Paee Hai (This Insane Lover Of Yours Has A Habit Of His Own So Unique)
• Main Zinda Hoon Yeh Mushtaher Kijeyey (Announce That I Am Still Alive)
• Dil Maiin Arman Thay Pehlay Kitnay (This Heart Was Filled With So Many Desires In The Past)
• Kab Tehray Ga Dard E Dil Kab Raat Basar Hogi (When Will This Ache Abate, My Heart, When Will My Night End?)
• Ab Wohi Harf E Junoon Sab Ki Zuban Tehri Hai (Once Again The Same Obsession On Every Tongue)
• Babul Mora Nyhar Chooto Hi Jaiy (Oh Father, I Am Leaving Your House)
