intizaar aap kaa aisaa hai ki dam kahtaa hai — Rasheed Lakhnavi

buton ke dil mein hamaari kuchh ab hui hai jagah
khudaa ne rahm kiyaa varna mar gae hote

sabhon ki aa gai piiri jo tum javaan hue
zamin kaa dil huaa miTTi kham aasmaan hue

siye jaate hain kafan aap ke divaanon ke
taar daaman ke hain TukDe hain garebaanon ke

kabhi madfun hue the jis jagah par kushta-e-abru
abhi tak is zamin se saikDon khanjar nikalte hain

zindagi kahte hain kis ko maut kis kaa naam hai
mehrbaani aap ki naa-meharbaani aap ki

gae the hazrat-e-zaahid to zard thaa chehra
sharaab-khaane se nikle to surkh-ru nikle

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

aisi hi intizaar mein lazzat agar na ho
to do ghaDi firaaq mein apni basar na ho

intizaar aur dastakon ke darmiyaan kaTti hai umr
itni aasaani se to baab-e-hunar khultaa nahin

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
