tum aaye ho na shab-e-intazaar guzarii hai
Faiz Ahmed Faiz

tum aaye ho na shab-e-intazaar guzarii hai
talaash me.n hai sahar baar baar guzarii hai
junuu.N me.n jitanii bhii guzarii bakaar guzarii hai
agarche dil pe Kharaabii hazaar guzarii hai
huii hai hazarat-e-naaseh se guftaguu jis shab
wo shab zaruur sar-e-kuu-e-yaar guzarii hai
wo baat saare fasaane me.n jisakaa zikr na thaa
wo baat unako bahot naa-gavaar guzarii hai
na gul khile hai.n, na unase mile, na mai pii hai
ajiib rang me.n ab ke bahaar guzarii hai
chaman me.n Gaarat-e-gulachii.N se jaane kyaa guzarii
qafas se aaj sabaa beqaraar guzarii hai
[Gaarat=pillage, plunder; gulachii.N=flower-plucker; qafas=cage]
