muntazir sab mire zavaal ke hain — Unknown

log kaanTon se bach ke chalte hain
main ne phulon se zakhm khaae hain

dil TuTne se thoDi si taklif to hui
lekin tamaam umr ko aaraam ho gayaa

duniyaa mein vahi shakhs hai taazim ke qaabil
jis shakhs ne haalaat kaa rukh moD diyaa ho

miri namaaz-e-janaaza paDhi hai ghairon ne
mare the jin ke liye vo rahe vazu karte

ye hamin hain ki tiraa dard chhupaa kar dil mein
kaam duniyaa ke ba-dastur kiye jaate hain

jin ke kirdaar se aati ho sadaaqat ki mahak
un ki tadris se patthar bhi pighal sakte hain

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

koi to hogaa jis ko miraa intizaar hai
kahtaa hai dil ke shahr-e-tamannaa mein le ke chal
