tamaam din mujhe suraj ke saath chalnaa thaa — Iqbal Umar

duniyaa gharib jaan ke hansti thi 'mir' par
'iqbaal' mujh pe aise ye duniyaa hansi ki bas

jin par nisaar naqd-e-sukun naqd-e-jaan kiyaa
un se mile to aisi nadaamat hui ki bas

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad

ghulaami mein na kaam aati hain shamshirein na tadbirein
jo ho zauq-e-yaqin paidaa to kaT jaati hain zanjirein

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

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