ye intizaar sahar kaa thaa yaa tumhaaraa thaa — Aanis Moin

ye aur baat ki rang-e-bahaar kam hogaa
nai ruton mein darakhton kaa baar kam hogaa

aaj zaraa si der ko apne andar jhaank kar dekhaa thaa
aaj miraa aur ik vahshi kaa saath rahaa pal do pal kaa

utaaraa dil ke varaq par to kitnaa pachhtaayaa
vo intisaab jo pahle bas ik kitaab pe thaa

gahri sochein lambe din aur chhoTi raatein
vaqt se pahle dhuup saron pe aa pahunchi

hazaaron qumqumon se jagmagaataa hai ye ghar lekin
jo man mein jhaank ke dekhun to ab bhi raushni kam hai

tumhaare naam ke niche khinchi hui hai lakir
kitaab-e-zist hai saada is indiraaj ke baad

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

pyaaso raho na dasht mein baarish ke muntazir
maaro zamin pe paanv ki paani nikal paDe

tamaam umr rahe meraa muntazir tu bhi
tamaam umr mire intizaar ko tarse

haan dil-e-be-taab chande intizaar
amn-o-raahat kaa Thikaana aur hai

ab kaun muntazir hai hamaare liye vahaan
shaam aa gai hai lauT ke ghar jaaein ham to kyaa

aahaTein sun rahaa huun yaadon ki
aaj bhi apne intizaar mein gum
