jahaan dikhaai na detaa thaa ek Tiila bhi — Hasan Naim

kam nahin ai dil-e-betaab mataa-e-ummid
dast-e-mai-khvaar mein khaali hi sahi jaam to hai

kuchh usulon kaa nasha thaa kuchh muqaddas khvaab the
har zamaane mein shahaadat ke yahi asbaab the

gham se bikhraa na paaemaal huaa
main to gham se hi be-misaal huaa

jo bhi kahnaa hai kaho saaf shikaayat hi sahi
in ishaaraat-o-kinaayaat se ji Dartaa hai

gard-e-shohrat ko bhi daaman se lipaTne na diyaa
koi ehsaan zamaane kaa uThaayaa hi nahin

'iqbaal' ki navaa se musharraf hai go 'naim'
urdu ke sar pe 'mir' ki ghazlon kaa taaj hai

mujid jo nuur kaa hai vo meraa charaagh hai
parvaana huun main anjuman-e-kaaenaat kaa

ek pardaa hai sirf saanson kaa
saans Thahre to kaaenaat khule

fitrat ke taqaaze kabhi badle nahin jaate
khushbu hai agar vo to bikharnaa hi paDegaa

dam bhar rahe habaab-e-namat kaaenaat mein
is zindagi mein naam nahin maah-o-saal kaa

farz hai dariyaa-dilon par khaaksaaron ki madad
farsh sahraa ke liye laazim huaa sailaab kaa

but nazar aaeinge maashuqon ki kasrat hogi
aaj but-khaana mein allaah ki qudrat hogi
