ASAD - 19

Many famous Shayars have written less GHazals and more Nazm. One prominent example is the famous lyricist Kaifi Aazmi. So I was more than delighted to find this gem of his to be included in this series.

teGH = talwaar

wo teGH mil gayi, jis se hu'aa hai qatl mera
kisi ke haath ka us par, nishaaN nahiN milta

- Kaifi Aazmi

I am getting a vague feeling, that this is from "kabhi kisi ko mukammal jahaN nahiN milta". Can anybody confirm ?

- Abhay.

ASAD _also_ stands for "A Sher A Day" !
