Javed Akhtar Shayari

Isi jagah is din to hua tha ye elaan,
Andhere haar gaye, zindabad Hindostan.

—

Hum to bachpan mein bhi akele the,
Sirf dil ki gali mein khelte the.

—

Is shehar mein jeene ke andaaz nirale hain,
Honthon pe latifein hain, awaz mein chhaale hain.

—

Mujhe mayoos bhi karti nahi hai,
Yahi aadat teri achhi nahi hai.

—

Yahi haalaat ibteda se rahe,
Log humse khafa, khafa se rahe.
