Iqbal Poetry
Jinhain mein dhoondta tha aasmaano mein zameenoon mein
Woh nikle mere zulmat khana-e-dil ke makinon mein
Mahine wasl ke ghadiyon ki soorat udte jaate hain
Magar ghadiyan judaai ki guzarti hain mahino mein
Kabhi apna bhi nazara kiya hai tune ae Majnun
Ke Layla ki tarah tu khud bhi hai mahmal-nashino mein
Mujhe rokey ga to ae naakhuda kya gharg hone se
Ke jin ko doobna ho, doob jaate hain safeenon mein
Haqeeqat apni aankhon par numayaan jab hui apni
Makaan nikla hamare khana-e-dil ke makinon mein
Jala sakti hai shama kashta ko mauj-e-nafas unki
Ilahi! Kya chhupa hota hai ahl-e-dil ke seeno mein
