I am proud to publish a ghazal by kHayaal lakhnawi. Even though his name suggests he is lakhnawi. But a look at his poetry would say something else. In his poetry kHayaal has successfully been able to incorporate two major classical tradition of poetry, Lucknow and Delhi. His language is clearly lakhnawi in style but his shers usually have dilli as their rooh. kHayaal lives in Lucknow, and if you want to send him a letter or want to invite in a mushaiyra, just let me know and I will snail mail or call him up.
Now enough of my tabsaraH, enjoy the gHazal...
