Dard-e-Intizaar :

(Intezaar ka dard, aur rooh ki tanhaayi ka ehsaas)

Quote:

“Kabhi har ghadi intezaar, kabhi har pal tanhaayi…
Dil ki gehraiyon me bas tum hi tum ho, aur main khud se bhi kho chuka hu.”

⸻

Arz kiya hai… ke..,

Ab tumhare intezaar me, thak chuka hu mai,
Yaa Rab mujhe hausla de, lagta hai mar chuka hu mai…

Har mod par tumhari kami ka ehsaas milta hai,
In raaston par kitni dafa bikhar chuka hu mai…

Aankhon me jamte aansu bhi ab sawal karte hain,
Ke kiske liye roz-roz pighal chuka hu mai…

Khushi ka toh kab ka soog mana chuka hu mai,
Par dard se mohabbat abhi bhi kar chuka hu mai…

Tumhari yaadon ne ghar kar liya mere seene me,
In mehfilon se door ho kar akela bach chuka hu mai…

Raaton ki tanhaayi me bhi tumhari surkhi rehti hai,
Chaand se pooch lo kitni dafa mukar chuka hu mai…

Mere jazbaat par kisi ko yaqeen hi nahi aaya,
Shayad isi wajah se duniya se uth chuka hu mai…

Har subah aati hai, par sukoon laati nahi,
Din ke ujale me bhi bas tumhari parchhai hai…

Aaj bhi har khushi ka rang uda sa lagta hai,
Har muskaan me bas tumhari kami ki chhaap hai…

Baatein ki, shayad kabhi tum sun hi nahi paayi,
Par apne dil se main tumhe samjha chuka hu mai…

Zakhmon ka silsila ab mera hi saathi hai,
Har ghum me main apna saath nibhata chuka hu mai…

Raahon me bikhar kar bhi ab khud ko sambhala hai,
Par andar se lagta hai jaise khud ko khokar reh chuka hu mai…

Yaadon ki mehfil me, tumhari hasi ki khushboo hai,
Aur main unme kho kar bas ud chuka hu mai…

Rahatein tumhari yaadon ke sahare guzarti hai,
Par har intezaar me apni rooh haar chuka hu mai…

Agar kabhi laut kar aao, bas itna samajh lena,
Ke main tumhare liye har dard seh kar tayyar reh chuka hu mai…
