Intizar Baqi Hai

kanpti hain honTon par

kitni an-kahi baaten

gunjte hain kanon mein

kitne an-sune naghme

jhankte hain palkon se

ungliyon ke poron tak

KHwab kitne an-dekhe

lams an-chhue kitne

nam hai talab jis ka

mustaqil hararat hai

hasrat-o-tamanna ke

aansuon se nam lekin

an-bujhe shararon ki

daimi masafat hai

be-bas aarzuon se

dard ki rasai tak

qaid se rihai tak

dhaDkanon ki sarhad ke

us taraf bhi imkan hai

jaan-o-tan se bahar bhi

zindagi farozan hai

aankh jam bhi jae to

sans tham bhi jae to

dil ke tah-nashin jazbe

ruh mein panapte hain

umr sirf mohlat hai

ishq lamha-e-daem

e'tibar baqi hai

mera gham salamat hai

tera husn hai qaem

intizar baqi hai
