Sir Mohammed Iqbal

kabhii ai haqiiqat-e-mu.ntazir nazar aa libaas-e-majaaz me.n
ke hazaaro.n sajde ta.Dap rahe hai.n terii jabiin-e-niyaaz me.n

tarab aashanaa-e-Kharosh ho tuu navaa hai maharam-e-gosh ho
vo suruur kyaa ke chhaayaa huaa ho sukuut-e-pardaa-o-saaz me.n

tuu bachaa bachaa ke na rakh ise teraa aa_iinaa hai vo aa_iinaa
ke shikastaa ho to aziiz tar hai nigaah-e-aa_iinaa-saaz me.n

dam-e-tauf kar mak-e-shammaa na ye kahaa ke vo asr-e-kohan
na terii hikaayat-e-soz me.n na merii hadiis-e-gudaaz me.n

na kahii.n jahaa.N me.n aman milii jo aman milii to kahaa.N milii
mere jurm-e-KhaanaaKharaab ko tere azo-e-ba.ndaa-navaaz me.n

na vo ishq me.n rahii.n garmiyaa.N na vo husn me.n rahii.n shoKhiyaa.N
na vo Gazanavii me.n ta.Dap rahii na vo Kham hai zulf-e-ayaaz me.n

jo mai.n sar-ba-sajdaa kabhii huaa to zamii.n se aane lagii sadaa
teraa dil to hai sanam-aashanaaa tujhe kyaa milegaa namaaz me.n
