haae vo log jin ke aane kaa — Khalilur Rahman Azmi

bhalaa huaa ki koi aur mil gayaa tum saa
vagarna ham bhi kisi din tumhein bhulaa dete

nikaale gae is ke maani hazaar
ajab chiiz thi ik miri khaamushi

ham ne to khud ko bhi miTaa Daalaa
tum ne to sirf bevafaai ki

dekhne vaalaa koi mile to dil ke daagh dikhaaun
ye nagri andhon ki nagri kis ko kyaa samjhaaun

ye tamannaa nahin ab daad-e-hunar de koi
aa ke mujh ko mire hone ki khabar de koi

yuun to marne ke liye zahr sabhi piite hain
zindagi tere liye zahr piyaa hai main ne

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

ghazab kiyaa tire vaade pe e'tibaar kiyaa
tamaam raat qayaamat kaa intizaar kiyaa

aisi hi intizaar mein lazzat agar na ho
to do ghaDi firaaq mein apni basar na ho

tere khvaabon ki lat lagi jab se
raat kaa intizaar rahtaa hai

muddat se khvaab mein bhi nahin niind kaa khayaal
hairat mein huun ye kis kaa mujhe intizaar hai
