shab-e-intizaar aakhir kabhi hogi mukhtasar bhi — Kaifi Azmi

peD ke kaaTne vaalon ko ye maalum to thaa
jism jal jaaeinge jab sar pe na saaya hogaa

gar Dubnaa hi apnaa muqaddar hai to suno
Dubeinge ham zarur magar naakhudaa ke saath

ghurbat ki ThanDi chhaanv mein yaad aai us ki dhuup
qadr-e-vatan hui hamein tark-e-vatan ke baad

ik khvaab khushi kaa dekhaa nahin dekhaa jo kabhi to bhuul gae
maangaa huaa tum kuchh de na sake jo tum ne diyaa vo sahne do

divaarein to har taraf khaDi hain
kyaa ho gae mehrbaan saae

dil ki naazuk ragein TuTti hain
yaad itnaa bhi koi na aae

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

pyaaso raho na dasht mein baarish ke muntazir
maaro zamin pe paanv ki paani nikal paDe

phunkaa hai kis ne gosh-e-mohabbat mein ai khudaa
afsun-e-intizaar tamannaa kahein jise

is havaa mein kar rahe hain ham tiraa hi intizaar
aa kahin jaldi se saaqi shisha o saaghar samet

be-khudi le gai kahaan ham ko
der se intizaar hai apnaa

ishq kachche ghaDe pe Duub gayaa
lamha jab intizaar kaa aayaa
