In Waiting

muntazir hain hum kya ho tum

farishteh jo hain asqaat karenh

aisa kya nayaab farmaan ho tum

(I am in waiting; what are you

the prophets that aborted this mission

what strange divine order are you (to accept it).)

raat jo guzarti nahin iss veeraan soona

be kas bashindeh vashshhee ho nun-e-shab

yeh kaise safar menh humsafar zafar hoge

(This night that doesn't pass in this soul-less jungle

these people without people; all life becomes dinner

in which journey my kin and ship, will you so succeed)

Muntazir hain, lekin...intezaar karaayenh. Issi menh hai taab-e-jawaab (in waiting lies the sweetness of replies).
