gesu-e-taabdaar ko aur bhi taabdaar kar — Allama Iqbal

yahi zamaana-e-haazir ki kaaenaat hai kyaa
dimaagh raushan o dil tiira o nigah bebaak

tamannaa dard-e-dil ki ho to kar khidmat faqiron ki
nahin miltaa ye gauhar baadshaahon ke khazinon mein

zindagaani ki haqiqat kohkan ke dil se puchh
ju-e-shir o tesha o sang-e-giraan hai zindagi

hakim o aarif o suufi tamaam mast-e-zahur
kise khabar ki tajalli hai ain-e-masturi

jis khet se dahqaan ko mayassar nahin rozi
us khet ke har khosha-e-gandum ko jalaa do

baatil se dabne vaale ai aasmaan nahin ham
sau baar kar chukaa hai tu imtihaan hamaaraa

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

'saif' andaaz-e-bayaan rang badal detaa hai
varna duniyaa mein koi baat nai baat nahin

ham mein baaqi nahin ab khaalid-e-jaan-baaz kaa rang
dil pe ghaalib hai faqat hafiz-e-shiraaz kaa rang

dil ki taklif kam nahin karte
ab koi shikva ham nahin karte

ashk Dhalte nahin dekhe jaate
dil pighalte nahin dekhe jaate

ye do-dili mein rahaa ghar na ghaaT kaa 'anjum'
buton ko kar na sakaa khush khudaa ko paa na sakaa
