fitrat ko khirad ke ru-ba-ru kar — Allama Iqbal

tire ishq ki intihaa chaahtaa huun
miri saadgi dekh kyaa chaahtaa huun

haan dikhaa de ai tasavvur phir vo subh o shaam tu
dauD pichhe ki taraf ai gardish-e-ayyaam tu

nahin is khuli fazaa mein koi gosha-e-faraaghat
ye jahaan ajab jahaan hai na qafas na aashiyaana

nahin teraa nasheman qasr-e-sultaani ke gumbad par
tu shaahin hai baseraa kar pahaaDon ki chaTaanon mein

azaab-e-daanish-e-haazir se baa-khabar huun main
ki main is aag mein Daalaa gayaa huun misl-e-khalil

baatil se dabne vaale ai aasmaan nahin ham
sau baar kar chukaa hai tu imtihaan hamaaraa

mujid jo nuur kaa hai vo meraa charaagh hai
parvaana huun main anjuman-e-kaaenaat kaa

dil ki lahron kaa tul-o-arz na puchh
kabhu dariyaa kabhu safinaa hai

kahin na thaa vo dariyaa jis kaa saahil thaa main
aankh khuli to ik sahraa ke muqaabil thaa main

qudrat ki barkatein hain khazaana basant kaa
kyaa khuub kyaa ajiib zamaana basant kaa

gham se naazuk zabt-e-gham ki baat hai
ye bhi dariyaa hai magar Thahraa huaa

sab ummidein mire aashob-e-tamannaa tak thiin
bastiyaan ho gaiin gharqaab to dariyaa utraa
