Intezar Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Aana to tha sooraj ke sang, chand ke sang aa jao sathi,
Sara din to tadpa hoon main, sham ko na tadpao sathi,
Subah ka bhoola sham ko aaye to bhoola kahlata nahin,
Subah se ab to sham huei tum ab bhi aa jao sathi.

Sham dhale poorab se uththeen kali kali ghataen sathi,
Rat andheri sar par aai, tum bin kaise bitaen sathi,
Barkha rut men dost ki doori, dushman bhi mahfooz rahe,
Thandi thandi mast hawaen dilmen aag lagaen sathi.

Tum aao ya neend aae ya maut hi aa jae sathi,
Kuch to aisi bat ho jisse rat yeh kat jae sathi,
Rimjhim rimjhim badra barse chamcham chamcham chamke bijli,
Bheegi bheegi rat ka joban pal pal uthta jae sathi.
