Javed Akhtar — Meeras

Poets·Javed Akhtar·Ghazal

matla

main kab se kitna hoon tanha tujhe pata bhi nahi

tira toh koi hai mira khuda bhi nahi

kabhi ye lagta hai ab khatm ho gaya sab kuchh

kabhi ye lagta hai ab tak toh kuchh hua bhi nahi

kabhi toh baat ki us ne kabhi raha khaamosh

kabhi toh hans ke mila aur kabhi mila bhi nahi

kabhi jo talkh-kalaami thi wo bhi khatm hui

kabhi gila tha hamein un se ab gila bhi nahi

wo cheekh ubhri badi goonji doob gai

har ek sunta tha lekin koi hila bhi nahi
