Ajab wa’iz ki deendari hai ya Rab
Adawat hai usay saaray jahan se
Koi ab tak na yeh samjha ke insaan
Kahan jaata hai, aata hai kahan se
Wahin se raat ko zulmat mili hai
Chamak taare ne paayi hai jahan se
Hum apni dard mandi ka fasana
Suna karte hain apne raazdaan se
Faqr ke hain mojzaat taaj o sareer o sipah
Faqr hai meeroon ka meer, faqr hai shahoon ka shah
“Ilm ka maqsad hai paaki aqal o khirad
Faqr ka maqsad hai iffat e qalb o nigah”
“Ilm faqeeh o hakeem, faqr Maseeh o Kaleem
Ilm hai joya-e-raah, faqr hai dana-e-raah”
“Faqr maqam-e-nazar, ilm maqam-e-khabar
Faqr masti sawaab, ilm mein masti gunaah”
“Ilm ka maujood aur, faqr ka maujood aur
Ash-hadu an la ilah, ash-hadu an la ilah”
“Charhti hai jab faqr ki saan pe tegh-e-khudi
Ek sipahi ki zarb karti hai kaar-e-sipah”
“Dil agar is khaak mein zinda o bedaar ho
Teri nigah tod de aaeena-e-mehr o maah”
Karein ge ahl-e-nazar taaza bastiyan abaad
Meri nigah nahiin soe Koofa o Baghdaad
Yeh madrasa, yeh jawaan, yeh surur o ranai
Inhi ke dam se hai mai khana-e-Farang abaad
Na falsafi se, na mulla se hai ghraz mujh ko
Yeh dil ki maut, woh andesha o nazar ka fasaad
Faqih-e-shehr ki tahqeer kya majaal meri
Magar yeh baat ke main dhoondta hoon dil ki kashaad
Khareed sakte hain duniya mein ishrat-e-Parvez
Khuda ki dein hai sarmaaya-e-gham Farhad
Kiye hain faash ramooz-e-qalandari main ne
Ke fikr-e-madrasa o khanqah ho azaad
Rishi ke faaqon se toota na Barahman ka tilism
Asa na ho to Kaleemi hai kaar-e-bunyad
Yun to ae bazm-e-jahan! dilkash thay hungaamay teray
Ik zara afsurdagi teray tamashaion mein thi
Paa gayi aasoodegi kooye mohabbat mein woh khaak
Muddaton aawara jo hikmat ke sehrāon mein thi
Kis qadar ae mai! tujhe rasm-e-hijaab aayi pasand
Pardah angoor se nikli to meenaon mein thi
Husn ki taseer par ghalib na aa sakta tha ilm
Itni nadaani jahan ke saaray danaaon mein thi
Main ne ae Iqbal, Europe mein use dhoonda ‘abas
Baat jo Hindustan ke maah-e-seemaaon mein thi
Khudi ki shokhi o tundi mein kibr o naaz nahi
Jo naaz ho bhi to be lazzat e niyaz nahi”
“Nigaah-e-ishq dil-e-zinda ki talaash mein hai
Shikaar-e-murda sazaawaar-e-shaahbaaz nahi”
“Meri nava mein nahi hai adaaye mahboobi
Ke bang-e-soor-e-Sarafeel dilnawaaz nahi”
“Sawaal-e-mai na karoon saaqi-e-farang se main
Ke yeh tareeqah-e-rindaan paakbaaz nahi”
“Hui na aam jahaan mein kabhi hukoomat-e-ishq
Sabab yeh hai ke mohabbat zamaana saaz nahi”
“Ek iztiraab-e-musalsal ghayaab ho ke huzoor
Main khud kahoon to meri daastan daraaz nahi”
Dil murda dil nahin hai, isay zinda kar dobara
Ke yahi hai ummaton ke marz-e-kuhan ka chara
Tera bahr pur sukoon hai, yeh sukoon hai ya fasoohn hai?
Na nahang hai, na toofan, na kharabi kinara!
Tu zameer-e-aasman se abhi aashna nahin hai
Nahin beqaraar karta tujhe ghamza-e-sitara
Tere neistaan mein daala mere naghma-e-sehar ne
Meri khaak pa-e-supar mein jo nihaan tha ek sharaara
Nazar aayega usi ko yeh jahan-e-dosh-o-farda
Jisay aagayi mayassar meri shokhi-e-nazara
Maktabon mein kahin ranai-e-afkaar bhi hai
Khanqahon mein kahin lazat-e-asraar bhi hai
Manzil-e-rah rawaan door bhi, dushwaar bhi hai
Koi is qafila mein qafila saalar bhi hai
Barh ke Khyber se hai yeh ma’raka-e-deen-o-watan
Is zamane mein koi Haider-e-Karrar bhi hai
Ilm ki hadd se pare banda-e-momin ke liye
Lazzat-e-shauq bhi hai, naimat-e-deedaar bhi hai
Peer-e-maikhana yeh kehta hai ke aiwaan-e-farang
Sust buniyaad bhi hai, aaina-e-deewaar bhi ha
Yun haath nahin aata woh gauhar-e-yak daana
Yak-rangi o azaadi, aye himmat-e-mardaana
Ya Sanjar-o-Tughrel ka aa’een-e-jahangiri
Ya mard-e-qalandar ke andaaz-e-malukana
Ya hairat-e-Farabi ya taab-o-tab-e-Rumi
Ya fikr-e-hakeemana ya jazb-e-Kalimana
Ya aql ki rubahi ya ishq-e-Yadullahi
Ya heelah-e-afrangi ya hamlah-e-turkana
Ya shara’-e-Musulmani ya deyr ki darbani
Ya naara-e-mastana, Ka’aba ho ke butkhana
Meri mein faqiri mein shahi mein ghulami mein
Kuch kaam nahin banta be jura’at-e-rindana
Kya ishq aik zindagi mustaar ka
Kya ishq paa’edar se naa’paa’edar ki
Woh ishq jis ki shama bujha de ajal ki phoonk
Us mein maza nahin tapish-o-intezar ka
Meri bisaat kya hai, tab-o-taab yak nafas
Sholay se be-mahal hai uljhna sharaar ka
Kar pehle mujh ko zindagi-e-jaawidaan ata
Phir zoq-o-shauq dekh dil-e-beqaraar ka
Kaanta woh de ke jis ki khatak la-zawaal ho
Yaarab, woh dard jis ki kasak la-zawaal ho
“Jugnu ki roshni hai kashan-e-chaman mein
Ya shama jal rahi hai phoolon ki anjuman mein”
“Aaya hai aasman se ud kar koi sitara
Ya jaan par gayi hai mehtab ki kiran mein”
“Ya shab ki saltanat mein din ka safeer aaya
Ghurbet mein aa ke chamka, gumnaam tha watan mein”
“Tukma koi gira hai mehtab ki qaba ka
Zarra hai ya numayan sooraj ke pairahan mein
“Husn-e-qadeem ki ek posheeda yeh jhalak thi
Le aayi jis ko qudrat khalwat se anjuman mein”
“Chhotay se chaand mein hai zulmat bhi roshni bhi
Nikla kabhi gahan se, aaya kabhi gahan mein”
