hai kis kaa intizaar ki khvaab-e-adam se bhi — Momin Khan Momin

vo jo ham mein tum mein qaraar thaa tumhein yaad ho ki na yaad ho
vahi yaani vaada nibaah kaa tumhein yaad ho ki na yaad ho

kuchh qafas mein in dinon lagtaa hai ji
aashiyaan apnaa huaa barbaad kyaa

shab jo masjid mein jaa phanse 'momin'
raat kaaTi khudaa khudaa kar ke

tu kahaan jaaegi kuchh apnaa Thikaana kar le
ham to kal khvaab-e-adam mein shab-e-hijraan honge

na maanungaa nasihat par na suntaa main to kyaa kartaa
ki har har baat mein naaseh tumhaaraa naam letaa thaa

tum hamaare kisi tarah na hue
varna duniyaa mein kyaa nahin hotaa

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

ye na thi hamaari qismat ki visaal-e-yaar hotaa
agar aur jiite rahte yahi intizaar hotaa

muddat hui palak se palak aashnaa nahin
kyaa is se ab ziyaada kare intizaar chashm

kabhi to chaunk ke dekhe koi hamaari taraf
kisi ki aankh mein ham ko bhi intizaar dikhe

tamaam umr tire intizaar mein hamdam
khizaan-rasida rahaa huun bahaar kar mujh ko
