intizar baqi hai
kāñptī haiñ hoñToñ par
kitnī an-kahī bāteñ
gūñjte haiñ kānoñ meñ
kitne an-sune naġhme
jhāñkte haiñ palkoñ se
uñgliyoñ ke poroñ tak
ḳhvāb kitne an-dekhe
lams an-chhue kitne
naam hai talab jis kā
mustaqil harārat hai
hasrat-o-tamannā ke
āñ.suoñ se nam lekin
an-bujhe sharāroñ kī
dā.imī masāfat hai
be-bas ārzūoñ se
dard kī rasā.ī tak
qaid se rihā.ī tak
dhaḌkanoñ kī sarhad ke
us taraf bhī imkāñ hai
jān-o-tan se bāhar bhī
zindagī farozāñ hai
aañkh jam bhī jaa.e to
saañs tham bhī jaa.e to
dil ke tah-nashīñ jazbe
ruuh meñ panapte haiñ
umr sirf mohlat hai
ishq lamha-e-dā.em
e'tibār baaqī hai
merā ġham salāmat hai
terā husn hai qaa.em
intizār baaqī hai
kanpti hain honTon par
kitni an-kahi baaten
gunjte hain kanon mein
kitne an-sune naghme
jhankte hain palkon se
ungliyon ke poron tak
KHwab kitne an-dekhe
lams an-chhue kitne
nam hai talab jis ka
mustaqil hararat hai
hasrat-o-tamanna ke
aansuon se nam lekin
an-bujhe shararon ki
daimi masafat hai
be-bas aarzuon se
dard ki rasai tak
qaid se rihai tak
dhaDkanon ki sarhad ke
us taraf bhi imkan hai
jaan-o-tan se bahar bhi
zindagi farozan hai
aankh jam bhi jae to
sans tham bhi jae to
dil ke tah-nashin jazbe
ruh mein panapte hain
umr sirf mohlat hai
ishq lamha-e-daem
e'tibar baqi hai
mera gham salamat hai
tera husn hai qaem
intizar baqi hai
