Biography
Ghazals by Javed Akhtar
Dard Apnaata Hai Paraae Kaun
Ye Tera Ghar Ye Mera Ghar Kisi Ko Dekhana
Ye Tasalli Hai Ki Hain Naashaad Sab
Yahi Haalaat Ibtadaa Se Rahe
Main Ne Dil Se Kahaa
Main Bhool Jaaoon Ab Yahi Munaasib Hai
Ham To Bachpan Men Bhi Akele They
Kabhi Yoon Bhi To Ho
Ye Bataa De Mujhe Zindagi
Dukh Ke Jangal Main Phirte Hain Kab Se
Tum Ko Dekhaa To Ye Khayaal Aayaa
Pyaar Mujh Se Jo Kiyaa Tumne To Kyaa Paaogi
Mujhko Yaqin Hai Sach Kahti Thin Jo Bhi Ammi
Misaal Is Ki Kahaan Hai Zamaane Men
Har Khushi Men Koi Kami Si Hai
Dard Ke Phool Bhi Khilte Hain Bikhar Jaate
