maut ka intezzar kyu karte ho

mohabbat ne jinko rulaya woh mere paas aa gaye
mere dard ko apna dard samajh mujhme sama gaye
ab anjaam ki chinta karne wale door jaakar baithen
ham ek nayee duniya ke baashinde kahlaa gaye

humare pyar ko ushne samjha nahi
humare zarurat ki gaherai ushne samjha nahi
kya karte hum
ush ne mujhe wafa samjha hi nahi

uski chaukhat pe wafaon ka diya jala baithe
jisne bewafayee ki aandhi chalaa rakhi thi
ham us maanjhi pe aitbaar kar baithe
jisne kaagaz ki kashti banaa rakhi thi

unka naam humare dil pe likha hain
unka nishan mere ang ang pe likha hain
humne kabhi kisi se itna pyar nahi kiya
ke mere chan aur sukoon pe bus ek ushka hi naam likha hain

uska naam apne chaen-o-sukun pe kyon likhen
jo khud hamare chaen-o-sukun ka katil nikla
pyar karne ki isase badi sazaa kya hogi
uski yaadon ke sang mera janaza nikla

maut ka intezzar kyu karte ho
jo kabhi bhai aata uske intezzar kyu karte ho
yeh kaun sa yug mein tumne janam liya hain
ke zindagi hote hoye bhi maut pr aitbaar karte ho

zindagi ne saath nibhaya hota to
maut ka intezaar hi kyon karte
phoolon ne bikheri hoti khushbo agar
to fir kaanto se pyar hi kyon karte
