Allama Iqbal
ja basa maghrib men akhir ai makan tera makin
aah! mashriq ki pasand aai na us ko sarzamin
aa gaya aaj is sadaqat ka mire dil ko yaqin
zulmat-e-shab se ziya-e-roz-e-furqat kam nahin
”taz aghosh-e-vida’ish dagh-e-hairat chida ast
ham-chu sham-e-kushta dar-chashm-e-nigah khvabida ast”
kushta-e-uzlat huun abadi men ghabrata huun main
shahr se sauda ki shiddat men nikal jaata huun main
yad-e-ayyam-e-salaf se dil ko tadpata huun main
bahr-e-taskin teri janib daudta aata huun main
aankh ko manus hai tere dar-o-divar se
ajnabiyyat hai magar paida miri raftar se
zarra mere dil ka khurshid-ashna hone ko tha
aaina tuuta hua alam-numa hone ko tha
nakhl meri arzuon ka hara hone ko tha
aah! kya jaane koi main kya se kya hone ko thaa!
abr-e-rahmat daman-az-gulzar-e-man barchid-o-raft
andkai bar-ghuncha haae aarzu barid-o-raft
tu kahan hai ai kalim-e-zarra-e-sina-e-ilm!
thi tiri mauj-e-nafas bad-e-nashat-afza-e-ilm
ab kahan vo shauq-e-rah-paimai-e-sahra-e-ilm
tere dam se tha hamare sar men bhi sauda-e-ilm
”shor-e-laila ko ki baz-araish-e-sauda kunad
khak-e-majnun-ra ghubar-e-khatir-e-sahra kunad”
khol dega dasht-e-vahshat uqda-e-tadir ko
tod kar pahunchunga main punjab ki zanjir ko
dekhta hai dida-e-hairan tiri tasvir ko
kya tasalli ho magar girvida-e-taqrir ko
”tab-e-goyai nahin rakhta dahan tasvir ka
khamushi kahte hain jis ko hai sukhan tasvir kaa”
