ik pal kaa qurb ek baras kaa phir intizaar — RuKHsaar Nazimabadi

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

phunkaa hai kis ne gosh-e-mohabbat mein ai khudaa
afsun-e-intizaar tamannaa kahein jise

is havaa mein kar rahe hain ham tiraa hi intizaar
aa kahin jaldi se saaqi shisha o saaghar samet

savaal karti kai aankhein muntazir hain yahaan
javaab aaj bhi ham soch kar nahin aae

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