Allama Iqbal
kamal-e-tark nahin ab-o-gil se mahjuri
kamal-e-tark hai taskhir-e-khaki o nuuri
main aise faqr se ai ahl-e-halqa baaz aaya
tumhara faqr hai be-daulati o ranjuri
na faqr ke liye mauzun na saltanat ke liye
vo qaum jis ne ganvai mata-e-taimuri
sune na saqi-e-mehvash to aur bhi achchha
ayyar-e-garmi-e-sohbat hai harf-e-mazuri
hakim o aarif o suufi tamam mast-e-zahur
kise khabar ki tajalli hai ain-e-masturi
vo multafit hon to kunj-e-qafas bhi azadi
na hon to sehn-e-chaman bhi maqam-e-majburi
bura na maan zara aazma ke dekh ise
farang dil ki kharabi khirad ki mamuri
