maanaa ki teri diid ke qaabil nahin huun main — Allama Iqbal

tire ishq ki intihaa chaahtaa huun
miri saadgi dekh kyaa chaahtaa huun

haan dikhaa de ai tasavvur phir vo subh o shaam tu
dauD pichhe ki taraf ai gardish-e-ayyaam tu

nahin is khuli fazaa mein koi gosha-e-faraaghat
ye jahaan ajab jahaan hai na qafas na aashiyaana

nahin teraa nasheman qasr-e-sultaani ke gumbad par
tu shaahin hai baseraa kar pahaaDon ki chaTaanon mein

azaab-e-daanish-e-haazir se baa-khabar huun main
ki main is aag mein Daalaa gayaa huun misl-e-khalil

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

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

pyaaso raho na dasht mein baarish ke muntazir
maaro zamin pe paanv ki paani nikal paDe

ye na thi hamaari qismat ki visaal-e-yaar hotaa
agar aur jiite rahte yahi intizaar hotaa

ik intizaar mein qaaem hai is charaagh ki lau
ik ehtimaam mein kamre kaa dar khulaa huaa hai

tamaam umr tire intizaar mein hamdam
khizaan-rasida rahaa huun bahaar kar mujh ko

giraa diyaa hai to saahil pe intizaar na kar
agar vo Duub gayaa hai to duur niklegaa
