Urdu Poem: Allama Iqbal: Hamalah

Ay hamalah! Ay fasilay kishwaray Hindustan
Chumta hay teri peshani ko jhuk kar aasman
Tujh mein kuchh peda nahi darinah-rozi kay nishan
Ttu jawan hay gardishay sham-o-seher kay darmiyan
Aik jalwah tha kalimay tturay sina kay liye
Ttu tajalli hay sarapa chashmay bina kay liye

Imtihanay dida-a zahir mein kohistan hay ttu
Pasban apna hay ttu, diwaray hindustan hay ttu
Matla-a awwal falaq jis ka ho woh diwan hay ttu
Su-a khalwat gahay dil-o-aman kushay insan hay ttu
Baraf nay bandhi hay dastaray fazilat teray sar
Khandazan hay jo kulahay mehray aalam taab par

Teri omray raftah ki ik aan hay ehday kuhan
Wadiyon main hain tiri kali ghataien khemahzan
Chotiyan teri thurayya say hain sargarmay sukhan
Ttu zamen par oor pehna-a falaq tera watan
Chashma-a daman tira aaina-a sayyal hay
Damnay mojay hawa jis kay liye rumaal hay

Aabr kay hathon mein rahraway hawa kay wastay
taziyanah day diya barqay taray kohsar nay
Ay Hamalah koi bazigah hay ttu bhi, jisay
Dastay qudrat nay banaya hay anasir kay liye
Ha-a kiya fartay turb main jhumta jata hay aabr
Filay bayzanjir ki surat orr jata hay aabr

Jumbashay mojay nasimay subh gehwarah bani
Jhumti hay nash-sha-a hasti mein har gul ki kali
Yoon zubanay-barg say goya hay os ki khamshi
Dastay gulchein ki jhatak main nau nahi dekhi kabhi
Keh rahi hay meri khamoshi hi afsanah mira
Kunjay khalwat khan-a qudrat hay kashanah mira

Aati hay naddi farazay koh say gati hu-e
Kothr-o-tanim ki mojon ko sharmati hu-e
Aaina sa shahiday qudrat ko dikhlati hu-e
Sangay rah say gah bachti gah takrati hu-e
Cherti ja iis iraqe dilnashin kay saaz ko
Ay musafir dil samajhtah hay titi aawaz ko

Lay-liye shab kholti hay aa kay jab zulfay rasa
Damnay dil khenchti hay aabsharon ki sada
Woh khmoshi sham ki jis par takallum ho fida
Woh darakhton par tafakkur ka saman chaya huwa
Kampta phirta hay kiya rangay shafaq kohsar par
Khusnuma lagta hay yeh ghaza tiray rukhsar par

Ay Hamalah! dastan os waqt ki koi suna
Makanay aaba-a insan jab bana daman tira
Kuch bata os sidhi sadhi zindgi ka majra
Daagh jis par ghaza-a rangay takalluf ka nah tha
Haan dikha day ay tasawwur phir woh subh-o-sham ttu
Dhorr pichay ki taraf ay gardishay aiyyam ttu
