Urdu Poem: Allama Iqbal: Aik Makrra Oor Makkhi

- BACHON KAY LIYE -

Ik din kisi makkhi say yeh kehnay laga makrra
Iis rah say hota hay guzar roz tumhara
Lekin miri kutya ki nah jagi kabhi qismat
Bhulay say kabhi tum nay yahan paon nah rakha
Ghairon say nah milye tto koi baat nahi hay
Apnon say magar chahiye yoon khinch kay nah rehna
Aa-o jo miray ghar main tto yeh izzat hay meri
Woh samnay sirri hay jo manzor ho aana
Makkhi nay suni baat jo makrray ki tto boli
Hazrat! kisi nadan ko dijyee ga yeh dhoka
Iis jaal mein makkhi kabhi aanay ki nahi hay
Jo aap ki sirri pay charrha, phir nahi ottra

Makrray nay kaha wah! farebi mujhay samjhay
Tum sa koi nadan zamanay mein nah ho ga
Manzor tumhari mujhay khatir thi wagarna
Kuch faidah aapna tto mira iis may nahi tha
Orrti huwi aa-e ho khuda janay kahan say
Thehro jo miray ghar mein tto hay iis mein bura kiya!
Iis ghar mein kai tum ko dikhanay ki hein chizein
Bahir say nazar aati hay choti si yeh kuttiya
Latkay huway darwazon pay barik hein parday
Diwaron ko aainon say hay mein nay sajaya
Mehmanon kay aaran ko hazir hein bichonay
Har shakhs ko saman yeh muyassar nahi hota
Makkhi nay kaha khair, yeh sab theek hay lekin
Mein aap kay ghar aaon, yeh ommid nah rakhna
In naram bichonon say Khuda mujh ko bacha-a
So ja-a koi in pay tto phir oth nahi sakta

Makrray nay kaha dil mein, suni baat jo os ki
Phansun iisay kis tarha, yeh kambakht hay danaa
So kaam khushamad say nikaltay hein jahan mein
Jisay dekho jahan mein khushamad ka hay banda
Yeh soch kay makkhi say kaha os nay barri bee!
Allah nay bakhsha hay barra aap ko rutba
Hoti hay ossay aap ki sorat say muhabbat
Ho jis nay kabhi aik nazar aap ko dekha
Ankhein hain keh hiray ki chamakti huwi kanyan
Sar aap ka Allah nay kalghi say sajaya
Yeh husn, yeh poshak, yeh khubi, yeh safa-e
Phir iis pay qiyamat hay yeh orrtay huway gana
Makkhi nay suni jab yeh khushamad tto pasiji
Boli keh nahi aap say mujh ko koi khatka
Inkar ki aadat ko samajhti hoon bura mein
Sach yeh hay keh dil torrna acha nahi hota
Yeh baat kahi oor orri apni jagha say
Paas aa-e tto makrray nay ochal kar ossay pakrra
Bhuka tha kai roz say, abb hath jo aa-e
Aaram say ghar beth kay makkhi ko orraya
