sae majbur hain peDon se utarne ke liye
kyun KHizan kahti hai patton se bikharne ke liye
bhar ke muTThi mein to le jaegi baadal ko hawa
koi shab aaegi taron se sanwarne ke liye
us ko do pal bhi mera sath gawara na hua
sath mein jis ke main tayyar tha marne ke liye
kahin aisa to nahin hai ki hawa ruTh gai
muntazir phul hain baghon mein bikharne ke liye
kis bahane se tujhe dekhne aae 'jawed'
koi rasta ho tere dar se guzarne ke liye
Ghazal
Sae majbur hain peDon se utarne ke liye
Khawaja Javed Akhtar
