Emotional Intezar Shayari in Urdu
Yeh humari qismat mein nahi tha ki hum mil paate,
Agar hum aur zinda rehte, tab bhi yehi intezar hota.
Ek raat woh chala gaya jahan baat rok ke,
Aaj tak ussi jagah ruka hoon main raat rok ke.
Woh aane waale hain, woh aaye, phir aayenge,
Shab-e-hijr ko bas itna sam kr bitaya
ere aane ki kya umeed, par Kaise keh du ki main tujhe intezar nahi kar raha?
Na koi waada, na koi yaqeen, na koi umeed Phir bhi maine tera intezar karna tha.
Ye dard-bharapankha ujaala, yeh raat-guzara
subah Yeh vo subah nahi jiski maine umeed rakhi thi.
Main jaanta hoon ki woh nahi ayenge,
Phir bhi mera dil unki raahein dekh raha hai.
Mujhe pata tha meri umeed ghar mein rah gayi,
Lekin isne socha nahi tha ki main umar bhar safar mein rahunga.
Koi nahi aaya, koi nahi ayega lekin, Kya kare agar hum intezar na karein.
Woh chaand kehkar gaya tha ki aaj niklega,
To main shaam se intezar mein baithe hoon.
Shab-e-intezar ki kash-mash mein mat poochho kaise subah hui,
Kabhi ek diya jalaya, kabhi ek bujha diya.
Teri baahon mein aane ke baad bhi ‘Jalib’,
Der tak unke intezaar ki baachpan rah gayi.
Gulon mein rang bhare naye bahar ke saath chalna chahiye,
Chalo bhi kyun na taaki bagicha ka kaam chale.
Agar intezaar mein khushi hi nahi milegi,
To firaaq ke do pal bhi zindagi ke liye kafi na honge.
Teri aane ki umeed mein takte takte aankhen bujh gayi, Raaste bhi kho jaye.
Poori umar maine tera intezar kiya, In intezaar ke saaye mein kitno se pyaar kiya.
Humein pata tha woh nahi ayega, isi sham ko bhi,
Phir bhi tumhare intezaar mein kuch soch-soch ke baser gaye.
Jo hum doori mein darwaze-deewar dekhte hain,
Kabhi sabha mein, kabhi patthar pe likhe patra dekhte hain.
Naseer, woh mujhe chod ke ek raat gaya, Zindagi usi raat se agey na badhi.
Raat ke intezaar ki utaavliyon mein mat poocho kaise subah hui,
Kabhi ek diya jalaya, kabhi ek bujha diya.
Rukh se juda hone ka irada hai to kyun dil ro raha hai,
Main to sirf yahi chahta tha ki main tumhare intezaar mein mar jata.
Tere intezaar mei mere ishq ka waqt beet gaya,
Jaise sham ke waqt dil ki duniya kisi dukhi ko sambhal lo.
Tum aa gaye ho, ab mujhe thoda sambhalne do,
Aankhon mein abhi bhi usi intezaar ka nasha hai.
Ab intezaar ne mujhe is haalat mein pahuncha diya hai,
Agar vo aaye bhi, to bharosa nahi hoga mere liye.
Yeh intezaar ki ghantiyan, yeh raat ka khamaoshi,
Is ek raat mein base hue hain hazar saal ke din.
Dil me kis-kis tarah ki khwahish guzarti hai,
Mulaqat se zyada intezaar ka maza hota hai.
Jab hum doori ke dino me deewar aur darwaze dekhte hai,
Kabhi sabha kabhi patra ke sandeshe dekhte hai.
Teri aahat ka intezaar tha or umar bhar behta rang tha.
Jiski aankhon mein guzri sadiyan thi,
Usne sadiyon ki judai deni shuru kar di.
Jinhe umar kehte hain wo bas ek intezaar hai.
Woh jald ayenge ya der mein, Allahu Alam,
Main phool bichha doon ki kaliyan bihka du.
Woh intezaar ki chowkhat pe sona chala hoga,
Kisi se to pochhna padega ki kya hoga ab.
Yeh bhi ek raat beet hi jayegi,
Subah ke intezaar mein aankhein lagan hai.
Samay band darwaazon per likh gaya hai ‘Qaiser’,
Main ja raha hoon, meri raahein mat dekho.
Is hawa mein ham sirf tera intezaar kar rhe hai,
O saaqi jaldi se sharab layo.
Jab bhi tumhare intezaar ka ant hoga,
Ghar ke darwaze par ek dastak hamesha ke liye gir jayegi.
Uski raah mein itna intezaar kiya ki, Dil bimaar ho gaya.
Har milne pr yeh kyun hota hai, Khud ko kho dete hai or intezar karte hai.
Tere intezaar mei mere ishq ka waqt beet gaya,
Jaise sham ke waqt dil ki duniya kisi dukhi ko sambhal lo.
Mere jeevan me humne intezaar kiya,
Par kyun nahi tum ho paye humare.
Paani aur mitti se alag hoon main,
Phir bhi ab tak tak raha hoon main teri raah.
Dekha hai barson ke intezaar me,
Sapno me tumne hame rote dekha.
Teri baahon me aane ke baad bhi maine dekha,
Wahi intezaar jo phale tha, vaise hi rah gaya.
Maine bola tha ki kabhi nahi roonga, Par phir bhi aansu intezaar kiye.
tere aane kī kyā ummid magar,
kaise kah duuñ ki intizār nahīñ
na koī va.ada na koī yaqīñ na koī umiid,
magar hameñ to tirā intizār karnā thā.
ye daaġh daaġh ujālā ye shab-gazīda sahar,
vo intizār thā jis kā ye vo sahar to nahīñ.
tire aane ke ba.ad bhī ‘jālib’, der tak un kā intizār rahā
mujhe ḳhabar thī mirā intizār ghar meñ rahā,
ye hādsa thā ki maiñ umr bhar safar meñ rahā
shab-e-intizār kī kashmakash meñ na pūchh kaise sahar huī,
kabhī ik charāġh jalā diyā kabhī ik charāġh bujhā diyā
