Allama Iqbal

Khudi ko kar buland itna ke har taqdeer se pehle,

Khuda bande se khud pooche bata teri raza kya hai.

Sitaron se aage jahan aur bhi hain,

Abhi ishq ke imtihan aur bhi hain.

Hazaaron saal nargis apni be-noori pe roti hai,

Badi mushkil se hota hai chaman mein deeda-war paida.

Tu shaheen hai parwaaz hai kaam tera,

Tere saamne aasman aur bhi hain.

Amal se zindagi banti hai jannat bhi jahannam bhi,

Ye khaaki apni fitrat mein na noori hai na naari hai.

Mana ke teri deed ke qabil nahi hoon main,

Mera shauq dekh, mera intezaar dekh.

Dilon mein khauf hai khuda ka to darna kaisa,

Jo iman pe zinda hai usse marna kaisa.

Nahi tera nasheman qasr-e-sultani ke gumbad par,

Tu shaheen hai, basera kar pahadon ki chataano mein.

Dil se jo baat nikalti hai asar rakhti hai,

Par nahi, taqat-e-parwaaz magar rakhti hai.

Gulaami mein na kaam aati hain shamsheerein na tadbeerein,

Jo ho khud par yaqeen to kat jaati hain zanjeerein.

Yaqeen mohkam, amal paiham, mohabbat faateh-e-alam,

Jihaad-e-zindagani mein hain ye mardon ki shamsheerein.

Masjid to bana di shab bhar mein iman ki haraarat waalon ne,

Man apna purana paapi tha, barson mein namazi ban na saka.

Haya nahi hai zamane ki aankh mein baaqi,

Khuda kare ke teri jawani rahe be-daag.

Khuda ke bande to hain hazaaron banon mein phirte,

Main usko poojunga jis ko khuda se ishq ho.

Har ek aane wali subah ek nayi umeed lati hai,

Jo soya hai usse jaga, jo baitha hai usse chala.

Aqal ko aazaad kar, ishq ko aazaad kar,

Zindagi ko fir se ek naya aazaad khayaal kar.

Apne mann mein doob kar pa ja suragh-e-zindagi,

Tu agar mera nahi banta, na ban, apna to ban.

Parwaaz hai dono ki isi ek faza mein,

Kargas ka jahan aur hai, shaheen ka jahan aur.

Watan ki fikr kar naadaan musibat aane wali hai,

Teri barbaadiyon ke mashware hain aasmaanon mein.

Khudi ka sirr-e-nihan la ilaha illallah,

Khudi hai tegh-e-fasan la ilaha illallah.
