hamaare shauq kii ye intehaa thii
qadam rakhaa ke manzil raastaa thii
(shauq : desire; intehaa : apex; qadam : step; manzil : destination; raastaa : way)
bichaR ke Daar se ban-ban phiraa vo
hiran ko apnii kastuurii sazaa thii
(Daar : abode; ban : forest; hiran : deer; kastuurii : musk-deer)
kabhii jo Khvaab thaa vo paa liyaa hai
magar jo kho gayii vo chiiz kyaa thii
maiN bachpan meN khilaune toRtaa thaa
mere anjaam kii vo ibtidaa thii
(anjaam : end; ibtidaa : beginning)
muhabbat mar gayii mujhko bhii Gham hai
mere acche dinoN kii aashnaa thii
(aashnaa : friend)
jise maiN chhuu luuN vo ho jaaye sonaa
tujhe dekhaa to jaanaa bad-du’aa thii
mariiz-e-Khvaab ko to ab shafaa hai
magar duniyaa baRii kaRvii davaa thii
(mariiz-e-Khvaab : victim of dreams; shafaa : cure; kaRvii : bitter)

Subhan Allha Kya kaha hai javed sahab ne
mariiz-e-Khvaab ko to ab shafaa hai
magar duniyaa baRii kaRvii davaa thii
Shahi mano me duniya ek kadvii davaa hai wahi jana hai ise jis ne ise chakha hai
Very good ghazal Javed sahab.
Shortness and unstability of life is well defined
MeiN bachpan meN khilaune toRta tha
mere anjam ki vo ibtid’a thi
And of course life is a bitter pill; khoob kaha hai
……magar dunya baRi kaRvi davaa thi
this is probably Javed sb’s best ever… amazingly beautiful
hamaare shauq kii ye intehaa thii
qadam rakhaa ke manzil raastaa thii
Kya baat hai. I hv no word to praise.
