Today’s nazm entitled “Intezaar”

chaand maddham hai aasmaaN chup hai
neeNd ki god meiN jahaaN chup hai

door vaadi meiN doodhiyaa baadal
jhuk ke parbat ko pyaar karte haiN
dil meiN naakaam hasrateiN lekar
ham tera intezaar karte haiN

in bahaaroN ke saaye meiN aa jaa
phir muhabbat javaaN rahe na rahe
zindagii tere naamuraadoN par
kal talak meharbaaN rahe na rahe

roz ki tarah aaj bhi taare
subah ki gard meiN na kho jaayeiN
aa tire Gham meiN jaagtii aaNkheiN
kam se kam ek raat so jaayeiN

chaand maddham hai aasmaaN chup hai
neend ki god meiN jahaaN chup hai

this nazm was sung beautifully by Lata Mangeshkar in “Railway Platform” 1955.  Music by Madan Mohan, it’s a delight to hear it in Lata’s voice.
