Iqbal ki shayeri se maira intehab

25.3.10

ishaq o masti ka janaza hai takhayul inka

inkay andaish e taareeq main qaumon ke mazaar

maut ki naqsh gari inkay sanam khanon main

zindagi se hunr in barhamano ka baizar

chashm e aadam se chhupatay khain muqamaat e buland

kartay hain rooh ko khabeeda, badan ko baidaar

hind ke shayer o soorat gar wa afsaana nawees

ah ! baicharoon ke asaab pai aurat hai sawaar

teri hareef hai ya Rabb siyasat e afrang

magar hain uskay pujari faqt ameer o raees

banaya aik hi Iblees aag se Tu nay

banaey khaaq se usnay dau (2) sadd hazaar Iblees

my selection from Allama Iqbal's poetry

Namaz

badal ke bhais phir aatay khain har zamanay main
agarche Peer khai Adam, jawan khain Laat-o-Manaat

ye aik sajdah jisay tu giraan samjhta khai
khazar sajdun se daita khai adami ko nijaat !

Mullah ko jo khind main khai sajday ki azaadi
nadaan ye samajhta khai ke deen khai azaad !

maloom khain mujh ko teray akhwal ke main bhi
muddat khui guzrah tha isee rahguzar se

kaafir ki ye pehchaan ke afaaq main gum khai
maumin ki ye pehchaan ke gum is main khain afaaq !

Maumin

ho halqa-e-yaran tau baraisham ki tarah narm
razme khaq-o-batal ho tao faulad khai maumin !

Islam ka mukhasbah europe se darguzar

khaq se agar gharz khai tau zeba khai kia ye baat
Islam ka mukhasbah europe se darguzar ?

teri hareef hai ya Rabb siyasat e afrang

magar hain uskay pujari faqt ameer o raees

banaya aik hi Iblees aag se Tu nay

banaey khaaq se usnay dau (2) sadd hazaar Iblees

teri dua hai ke ho teri arzoo puri
meri dua hai teri arzoo badal jaey

faulad kahan rehta hai shamsheer ke layeq
paida ho agar uski tabiat main hareeri !

sikhaati nahi momin ko ghulami ke tareeq

khud badalte nahi, Quran ko badal daitay khain
khuay kis qadar faqikhan-e-haram be taufeeq!

in ghulamun ka ye maslaq khai ke naqis khai Kitab
sikhaati nahi momin ko ghulami ke tareeq !
