na jaane bahar bhi kitne aaseb muntazir hon

darkar tahaffuz hai pa sans bhi lena hai

na thi zamin mein wusat meri nazar jaisi

kyun khul gae logon pe meri zat ke asrar

hazaron qumqumon se jagmagata hai ye ghar lekin

ye intizar sahar ka tha ya tumhaara tha

yaad hai aanis pahle tum KHud bikhre the

gae zamane ki chap jinko samajh rahe ho

tumhaare nam ke niche khinchi hui hai lakir

aaKHir ko ruh toD hi degi hisar-e-jism

ye aur baat ki rang-e-bahaar kam hoga

wo jo pyasa lagta tha sailab-zada tha

main apni zat ki tanhai mein muqayyad tha

gahri sochen lambe din aur chhoTi raaten

tha intizar manaenge mil ke diwali
