Aakhri Intezaar

Ye aakhri intezaar bhi ab khatam hua,

Dhuan ye sa ye samay udd gaya,

sharab se mujhme chad gaya,

ek ek ghadi hath se phisal gayi aise..

 marte hue insaan se uski sanse chin gayi jaise..

wakt ke sath kuch aise dub gaye,

mere rastey manzil se juda ho gaye,

Iss tarha se humne din guzare,

tere firak mai humne subha shaam guzare.

Tere sath thi jo duniya suhani,

Ab wo ho gayi bemaani

pighal gayi mai jaltey jaltey,

thak gayi ye ankhein maltey maltey,

par na aaya tu,

or ye aakhri intezaar bhi ab khatm hua,

Humney tumhe pukara to bohut tha,

iss dil ki awaz hi bezubaan ho gayi

ek aakhri umeed bhi  mar gayi,

ye aakhri shamma bhi bujh gayi,

bujh gayi har shamma tere naam ki

har ek lau tere intejaar ki.

Ye aakhri intezaar bhi ab khatam hua,
