Us Ka Dukh

wo muntazir thi

hazar sadiyon se muntazir thi

main ek zarra

hawa ke rath par sawar, hansta hua

KHalaon mein gungunata

hazar-ha sal ke sabhi hadson ki garmi ragon mein bhar kar

ghane daraKHton ke narm sayon mein aa ke utra

wo muntazir thi

mujhe thakan se niDhaal dekha

to khilkhila kar lipaT gai mujh se be-tahasha

mere badan ko wo rang baKHsha

ki KHushbuon mein nahain pagDanDiyan suhani

wo nur mujh ko ata kiya

jagmaga gain jangalon ki tanhaiyan purani

hazar sadiyan guzar chuki hain

main aaj KHud ko Dubo chuka hun hayat ke

KHair o shar mein yaksar

magar wo ab bhi pukarti hai mere lahu ko

mere janam ki wo muntazir hai

hazar sadiyon se muntazir hai
