Footfalls tell many stories. They represent hope as well as despair. They are also real and hallucinatory. While the real ones are forebodings of a delightful meeting, the illusory ones only bring suffering and pain. Many moods of those in waiting are associated with footfalls. Verses in this selection will bring you many experiences around the reality and illusion of footfalls.

bahut pahle se un qadmon ki aahat jaan lete hain tujhe ai zindagi hum dur se pahchan lete hain the speaker says that with long experience, they can sense what is coming even before it arrives. “footsteps” stand for the familiar arrival of life’s troubles, routines, and inevitable demands. addressing life directly, they convey a tired, knowing intimacy: nothing in life surprises them anymore. the emotion is a mix of foreknowledge, resignation, and hard-earned insight.
kaun aaega yahan koi na aaya hoga mera darwaza hawaon ne hilaya hoga
dil par dastak dene kaun aa nikla hai kis ki aahat sunta hun virane mein

kaun aaega yahan koi na aaya hoga mera darwaza hawaon ne hilaya hoga
dil par dastak dene kaun aa nikla hai kis ki aahat sunta hun virane mein
jise na aane ki qasmen main de ke aaya hun usi ke qadmon ki aahat ka intizar bhi hai
aahat si koi aae to lagta hai ki tum ho saya koi lahrae to lagta hai ki tum ho
main ne din raat khuda se ye dua mangi thi koi aahat na ho dar par mere jab tu aae
aahaten sun raha hun yaadon ki aaj bhi apne intizar mein gum
nind aae to achanak teri aahat sun lun jag utthun to badan se teri khushbu aae
'akhtar' guzarte lamhon ki aahat pe yun na chaunk is matami julus mein ek zindagi bhi hai
aaj bhi naqsh hain dil par teri aahat ke nishan hum ne us rah se auron ko guzarne na diya
khamoshi mein chahe jitna begana-pan ho lekin ek aahat jaani-pahchani hoti hai
koi aawaz na aahat na koi halchal hai aisi khamoshi se guzre to guzar jaenge
ye zulf-bar-dosh kaun aaya ye kis ki aahat se gul khile hain mahak rahi hai faza-e-hasti tamam aalam bahaar sa hai
koi halchal hai na aahat na sada hai koi dil ki dahliz pe chup-chap khada hai koi
sham dhale aahat ki kirnen phuti thin suraj dub ke mere ghar mein nikla tha
pahle to us ki yaad ne sone nahin diya phir us ki aahaton ne kaha jagte raho
har lahza us ke panw ki aahat pe kan rakh darwaze tak jo aaya hai andar bhi aaega
ye bhi raha hai kucha-e-jaanan mein apna rang aahat hui to chand dariche mein aa gaya
jab zara raat hui aur mah o anjum aae bar-ha dil ne ye mahsus kiya tum aae
apni aahat pe chaunkta hun main kis ki duniya mein aa gaya hun main
is andhere mein na ek gam bhi rukna yaro ab to ek dusre ki aahaten kaam aaengi
koi dastak koi aahat na sada hai koi dur tak ruh mein phaila hua sannata hai
kisi aahat mein aahat ke siwa kuchh bhi nahin ab kisi surat mein surat ke siwa kya rah gaya hai
aahat bhi agar ki to tah-e-zat nahin ki lafzon ne kai din se koi baat nahin ki
palat na jaen hamesha ko tere aangan se gudaz lamhon ki be-khwab aahaton se na ruth
dil ke sune sehn mein gunji aahat kis ke panw ki dhup-bhare sannate mein aawaz suni hai chhanw ki
