ai nur-e-jaan-o-dida tire intizaar mein — Wali Dakni

tujh lab ki sifat laal-e-badakhshaan suun kahungaa
jaadu hain tire nain ghazaalaan suun kahungaa

raah-e-mazmun-e-taaza band nahin
taa qayaamat khulaa hai baab-e-sukhan

har zarra us ki chashm mein labrez-e-nur hai
dekhaa hai jis ne husn-e-tajalli bahaar kaa

chaahtaa hai is jahaan mein gar bahisht
jaa tamaashaa dekh us rukhsaar kaa

rashk suun tujh labaan ki surkhi par
jigar-e-laala daagh daagh huaa

jise ishq kaa tiir kaari lage
use zindagi kyuun na bhaari lage

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 aarzu ke sitaare ye intizaar ke phuul
chamak rahi hain khataaein mahak rahe hain gunaah

apne sahraa se bandhe pyaas ke maare hue ham
muntazir hain ki idhar koi kuaan aa nikle

teri aamad ki muntazir aankhein
bujh gaiin khaak ho gae raste

koi makin thaa na mehmaan aane vaalaa thaa
to phir kivaaD khulaa kis ke intizaar mein thaa
