Muntazir Tha Wo To Just-o-ju Mein Ye Aawara Tha

muntazir tha wo to just-o-ju mein ye aawara tha

shefta tera hi tha jo sabit-o-sayyara tha

hai jo hasrat to sarapa chashm hone ki hamein

hasil is aaina-KHana mein faqat nazzara tha

jab shab-e-mah mein chakor uDta hai mar jate hain hum

putliyon ka apni bhi tara koi ruKHsara tha

khol kar dil jab main rota tha firaq-e-yar mein

chashm-e-tar mamba thi har mu-e-mizha fawwara tha

sail-e-girya ne ye kis ke di samundar ko shikast

jo habab aaya nazar ek wazhgun naqqara tha

ek shab to wasl-e-jaanan ki tawazo ai falak

chaar din mehman tere ghar mein main be-chaara tha

roz-o-shab ke haal ka likhta tha parcha roz-o-shab

katib-e-amal meri DewDhi ka harkara tha

piTna sar apne matam mein azizo yar ka

qila-e-kunj-e-lahad ki fath ka naqqara tha

ahd-e-tifli se junun-e-ishq kaamil hai shafiq

shaKH-e-naKHl-e-bed-e-majnun se mera gahwara tha

jaan-e-shirin muzd ju-e-shir mein tesha ko di

hausla se apne bahar kohkan be-chaara tha

haalat-e-dil ko bayan karta kisi se main to kya

ishq mein ek mushaf-e-ruKHsar ke sipara tha

ye hua zahir ana laila-e-majnun se hamein

apna diwana tha apne waste aawara tha

haal apna ai sanam apni judai mein na puchh

sina o sar tha hamara aur sang-e-KHara tha

kucha-e-qatil mein jab shauq-e-shahadat le gaya

sar na tha gardan par apne bar-e-sad-pushtara tha

loTta tha is mein bad-KHui se main manind-e-ashk

shoKHi-e-tiflan se jumban mera gahwara tha

shan-e-ishq aula hai majnun dudman-e-ishq se

na-KHalaf na-qabil o nalaeq o nakara tha

ahl-e-alam se hamesha 'atish' izaen huin

mardum-e-duniya namak the main dil-e-sad-para tha
