tire ishq ki intihaa chaahtaa huun — Allama Iqbal

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

nigaah-e-ishq dil-e-zinda ki talaash mein hai
shikaar-e-murda sazaa-vaar-e-shaahbaaz nahin

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

sabhi se jab mohabbat chaahte ho
mohabbat kyon nahin karte sabhi se

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

yuun tasalli de rahe hain ham dil-e-bimaar ko
jis tarah thaame koi girti hui divaar ko

gar parastish khudaa ki saabit ki
kisu surat mein ho bhalaa hai ishq

chaahaa thaa gharaz main ne ishq aise hi dilbar kaa
gar mujh pe bahut guzraa gham is mein to kam guzraa

aaina chhoD ke dekhaa kiye surat meri
dil-e-muztar ne mire un ko sanvarne na diyaa
