Etimad

main ne socha tha ki is bar tumhaari bahen

meri gardan mein ba-sad-shauq hamail hongi

mushkilen rah-e-mohabbat mein na hail hongi

main ne socha tha ki is bar nigahon ke salam

aaenge aur ba-andaz-e-digar aaenge

phul hi phul fazaon mein bikhar jaenge

main ne socha tha ki is bar tumhaari sansen

meri bahki hui sanson se lipaT jaengi

bazm-e-ehsas ki tarikiyan chhaT jaengi

main ne socha tha ki is bar tumhaara paikar

mere be-KHwab darichon ko sula jaega

mere kamre ko saliqe se saja jaega

main ne socha tha ki is bar mere aangan mein

rang bikhrenge umidon ki dhanak TuTegi

meri tanhai ke aariz pe shafaq phuTegi

main ne socha tha ki is bar ba-in surat-e-haal

mere darwaze pe shahnaiyan sab dekhenge

jo kabhi pahle nahin dekha tha ab dekhenge

main ne socha tha ki is bar mohabbat ke liye

gungunate hue jazbon ki baraat aaegi

muddaton baad tamannaon ki raat aaegi

tum mere ishq ki taqdir banogi is bar

jit jaega mera josh-e-junun socha tha

aur ab soch raha hun ki ye kyun socha tha
