hamare shauq ki ye intiha thi
qadam rakkha ki manzil rasta thi
bichhaD ke Dar se ban ban phira wo
hiran ko apni kasturi saza thi
kabhi jo KHwab tha wo pa liya hai
magar jo kho gai wo chiz kya thi
main bachpan mein khilaune toDta tha
mere anjam ki wo ibtida thi
mohabbat mar gai mujh ko bhi gham hai
mere achchhe dinon ki aashna thi
jise chhu lun main wo ho jae sona
tujhe dekha to jaana bad-dua thi
mariz-e-KHwab ko to ab shifa hai
magar duniya baDi kaDwi dawa thi
Ghazal
Hamare shauq ki ye intiha thi
Javed Akhtar
