Urdu Poem: Allama Iqbal: Maan Ka Khawab

- BACHON KAY LIYE -

Mein so-e jo ik shab tto dekha yeh khawab
BArrha oor jis say mira iztirab
Yeh dekha keh mein ja rahi hoon kahein
Andherah hay oor rah milti nahi
Larazta tha dar say mira bal bal
Qadam ka tha dehshat say othna muhal
Jo kuch hosla pa kay agay barrhi
Tto dekha qatar aik larkon ki thi
Zamurrad si poshak pehnay hu-a
Diye sab kay hathon mein jaltay hu-a
Woh chup chap thay agay pichay rawan
Khuda janay Jana tha on ko kahan
Iisi soch mein thi keh mera pisar
Mujhay os jamaat mein aya nazar
Woh pechay tha oor tez chalta nah tha
Diya os kay hathon mein jalta nah tha
Kaha mein nay pehchan kar meri jan!
Mujhay chor kar aa ga-a tum kahan?
Juda-e mein rehti hoon mein beqarar
Paroti hoon har roz ashkon kay haar
Nah pawa hamari zara tum nay ki
Gaye chorr, achi wafa tum nay ki!
Jo bachay nay dekha mira pech-o-taab
Diya os nay mon pher kar yoon jawab
Rulati hay tujh ko juda-e miri
Nahi iis mein kuch bhi bhala-e miri
Yeh keh kar woh kuch der tak chp raha
Diya phir dikha kar yeh kehnay laga
Samajhti hay ttu ho giya kiya iisay?
Tiray ansuon nay bujhaya iisay!
