Allama Iqbal
koii pahaa.d ye kahtaa thaa ik gilahrii se
tujhe ho sharm to paanii me.n jaa ke duub mare
zaraa sii chiiz hai is par Guruur! kyaa kahnaa!
ye aql aur ye samajh ye shuuur! kyaa kahnaa!
Khudaa kii shaan hai naa-chiiz! chiiz ban baithe.n!
jo be-shuuur ho.n yuu.n baa-tamiiz ban baithe.n!
tirii bisaat hai kyaa merii shaan ke aage
zamii.n hai past mirii aan-baan ke aage
jo baat mujh me.n hai tujh ko vo hai nasiib kahaa.n
bhalaa pahaa.d kahaa.n jaanvar Gariib kahaa.n!
kahaa ye sun ke gilahrii ne mu.nh sambhaal zaraa
ye kachchii baate.n hai.n dil se inhe.n nikaal zaraa!
jo mai.n ba.dii nahii.n terii tarah to kyaa parvaa!
nahii.n hai tuu bhii to aaKhir mirii tarah chhotaa
har ek chiiz se paidaa Khudaa kii qudarat hai

nahii.n hai chiiz nikammii koii zamaane me.n
koii buraa nahii.n qudarat ke kaar-Khaane me.n
