25 Songs Penned By The Wordsmith Javed Akhtar That Prove He Can Weave Magic With Words!

We often find ourselves humming soulful songs that catch our fancy. Not just in leisure, but we also seek refuge in songs when words fail us. At times, it makes me wonder what would we do without these? While that gives you goosebumps, imagine these eternal songs without its words!

And who can afford to talk about the written word and not mention the wordsmith, Javed Akhtar? A scriptwriter-turned-lyricist, Javed Saab, as he is fondly called, weaves magic with his words and Bollywood (the entire mankind, TBH) couldn’t be more grateful! From penning melancholy like his muse to giving joy the right amount of cheer, Javed Saab, in our humble opinion couldn’t do it better.
