ab to uth saktaa nahin aankhon se baar-e-intizaar

kis tarah kaate koi lail-o-nahaar- e-intizaar

unkii ulfat ka yaqeen ho unke aane kii ummiid

hon ye dono suuraten tab hai bahaar-e-intizaar

merii aahen naa-rasaa, merii duaein naa-qubuul

yaa ilaahii kya karo main sharmsaar-e- intizaar

unke khat kii aarzuu hai, unkii aamad kaa khayaal

kis qadar peilaa hua hai kaarobaar-e- intizaar…
