ye na thī hamārī qismat ki visāl-e-yār hotā

agar aur jiite rahte yahī intizār hotā

Living longer had I waited, would have been in vain

EXPLANATION

इस शे’र को प्रायः टीकाकारों और आलोचकों ने प्रगतिशील विचारों की दृष्टि से देखा है। उनकी नज़र में “तुम”, “इन्क़िलाब”, “शब-ए-इंतज़ार” द्विधा, शोषण और अन्वेषण का प्रतीक है। इस दृष्टि से शे’र का विषय ये बनता है कि क्रांति करने का प्रयत्न करने वालों ने शोषक तत्वों के विरुद्ध हालांकि बहुत कोशिशें की मगर हर दौर अपने साथ नए शोषक तत्व लाता है। चूँकि फ़ैज़ ने अपनी शायरी में उर्दू शायरी की परंपरा से बग़ावत नहीं की और पारंपरिक विधानों को ही बरता है इसलिए इस शे’र को अगर प्रगतिशील सोच के दायरे से निकाल कर भी देखा जाये तो इसमें एक प्रेमी अपनी प्रेमिका से कहता है कि तुम आए और इंतज़ार की रात गुज़री। हालांकि नियम ये है कि हर रात की सुबह होती है मगर सुबह के बार-बार आने के बावजूद इंतज़ार की रात ख़त्म नहीं होती।
