- Sahir Ludhianavi-
(Intezar in english)Waiting
The moon is dull, the sky is silent,
in the lap of sleep the whole world is still.
In the distant valley the white clouds
are bowing down and loving the mountains.
And my heart full of unfulfilled desires
has been waiting for you for long.
Come in the shadows of spring
for love might not last for long.
Come, I am an unfortunate one,
I might not last till 'morrow comes.
Come, the stars might get lost
in the morning dust as always.
Come so that my wide open eyes waiting
sadly for you could rest for a night.
The moon is dull, the sky is silent,
in the lap of sleep the whole world is still.

(Waiting in Urdu) intizaar
chaaNd maddham hai, aasmaaN chup hai
niiNd kii god meN jahaaN chup hai
duur vaadii meN duudhiyaa baadal
jhuk ke parbat ko pyaar karte haiN
dil meN naakaam hasrateN lekar
ham teraa intizaar karte haiN
in bahaaroN ke saaye meN aa jaa
phir muhabbat javaaN rahe na rahe
zindagii tere naa-muraadoN par
kal talak meh’rbaaN rahe na rahe
roz kii tarah aaj bhii taare
subh kii gard meN na kho jaayeN
aa ! tere Gham meN jaagtii aankheN
kam se kam aik raat so jaayeN
chaaNd maddham hai, aasmaaN chup hai
niiNd kii god meN jahaaN chup hai
