mujhe dushman se bhi khuddaari ki ummid rahti hai — Javed Akhtar

main paa sakaa na kabhi is khalish se chhuTkaaraa
vo mujh se jiit bhi saktaa thaa jaane kyuun haaraa

main bachpan mein khilaune toDtaa thaa
mire anjaam ki vo ibtidaa thi

ghairon ko kab fursat hai dukh dene ki
jab hotaa hai koi hamdam hotaa hai

koi shikva na gham na koi yaad
baiThe baiThe bas aankh bhar aai

unchi imaaraton se makaan meraa ghir gayaa
kuchh log mere hisse kaa suraj bhi khaa gae

tab ham donon vaqt churaa kar laate the
ab milte hain jab bhi fursat hoti hai

apni anaa ki aaj bhi taskin ham ne ki
ji bhar ke us ke husn ki tauhin ham ne ki

kyon tasavvur mein ji rahaa huun main
jab haqiqat mein mar hi jaanaa hai

ek hi tiir hai tarkash mein to ujlat na karo
aise mauqe pe nishaanaa bhi ghalat lagtaa hai

sitam hai sitam kaaba-e-dil kaa Dhaanaa
ye kyaa kar rahe ho ye kyaa ho rahaa hai

khuub gahri jo lagi choT to ham ne jaanaa
vaqt lagtaa hai kisi dard ko jaate jaate

karnaa hai aap ko jo nae raaston ki khoj
sab jis taraf na jaaein udhar jaanaa chaahiye
