bijli ke intizar mein
bahut uchhle vazīr-e-tāb-kārī vo nahīñ aa.ī
andhere meñ ye shab-e-tanhā guzārī vo nahīñ aa.ī
kisī ne chaar chhai das martaba kaaTā thā gāloñ par
maiñ kartā hī rahā machchhar-shumārī vo nahīñ aa.ī
hamāre ishq kī tajdīd meñ thā vāpDā haa.il
andhere hī meñ zulf us kī sañvārī vo nahīñ aa.ī
hamāre mulk meñ nūr-e-adālat aam karne ko
bahut garjā thā adl-e-iftiḳhārī vo nahīñ aa.ī
zarā sī der ko bād-e-bahārī aa.ī thī lekin
taḌap uTThe the garmī se bihārī vo nahīñ aa.ī
mohalle se to sab aa.e the sham-e-ārzū le kar
hukūmat kā thā shāyad paañv bhārī vo nahīñ aa.ī
kiyā santosh ne inkār jab pañkhe ko jhalne se
to chhat par so ga.ī mīnā-kumārī vo nahīñ aa.ī
hamārī bebasī kā ab tamāsha dekhte kyā ho
sitāro tum to so jaao hamārī vo nahīñ aa.ī
bahut uchhle wazir-e-tab-kari wo nahin aai
andhere mein ye shab-e-tanha guzari wo nahin aai
kisi ne chaar chhai das martaba kaTa tha galon par
main karta hi raha machchhar-shumari wo nahin aai
hamare ishq ki tajdid mein tha wapDa hail
andhere hi mein zulf us ki sanwari wo nahin aai
hamare mulk mein nur-e-adalat aam karne ko
bahut garja tha adl-e-iftiKHari wo nahin aai
zara si der ko baad-e-bahaari aai thi lekin
taDap uTThe the garmi se bihaari wo nahin aai
mohalle se to sab aae the sham-e-arzu le kar
hukumat ka tha shayad panw bhaari wo nahin aai
kiya santosh ne inkar jab pankhe ko jhalne se
to chhat par so gai mina-kumari wo nahin aai
hamari bebasi ka ab tamasha dekhte kya ho
sitaro tum to so jao hamari wo nahin aai
