nahin minnat-kash-e-taab-e-shunidan daastaan meri — 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

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

raat yuun dil mein tiri khoi hui yaad aai
jaise viraane mein chupke se bahaar aa jaae

ai zulm ke maato lab kholo chup rahne vaalo chup kab tak
kuchh hashr to un se uTThegaa kuchh duur to naale jaaeinge

vasl ki arz kaa jab vaqt kabhi paataa huun
jaa hain khaamoshi siin tab lab mire aapas mein mil

chup kahin aur liye phirti thi baatein kahin aur
din kahin aur guzarte the to raatein kahin aur

dafnaa diyaa thaa jin ko gunje hain har taraf ab
meri khamoshiyon ko aavaaz mil gai hai
