Urdu Poem: Allama Iqbal: Mirza Ghalib

Fiqray insan pay tiri hasti say yeh roshan huwa
Hay par murghay takhaiul ki rasai tta-kuja
Tha sarapa ruh ttu, bazmay sukhan pekar tira
Zebay mehfil bhi raha, mehfil say pinhan bhi raha
Deed teri aankh ko os husn ki manzur hay
Ban kay sozay zindagi har shey mein jo mastur hay

Mehfilay hasti tiri barbat say hay sarmayah-daar
Jis tarha naddi kay naghmon say sakutay kohsar
Teray firdosay takhaiul say hay qudrat ki bahar
Teri kishtay fikr say ogtay hein aalam sabzahwar
Zindagi muzmar hay teri shokhiye tehrir mein
Ttabay goya-e hay jumbash hay labay taswir mein

Nutq ko so naz hein teray labay ijaz par
Mehway herat hay thurayya rifatay parwaz par
Shahiday mazmon tasadduq hay tiray andaz par
Khandazan hay ghunch-a dilli gulay shiraz par
Ah! ttu ojray huway dilli main aaramida hay
Gulshanay vimar mein tera ham-nawa khwabida hay

Lutfay goya-e mein teri hamsari mumkin nahi
Ho takhaiul ka na jab tak fikray kamil hamnashin
Haye! ab kiya ho ga-e hindustan ki sarzamin
Ah! aye nazzarah aamuzay nigahay nuqtah been
Gesu-a Urdu abhi minnat paziray shanah hay
Shamma yeh sodai-a dilsozi-a parwanah hay

Ay jahan aabad! ay gehwara-a ilmo hunar
Hein sarapa nala-a khamosh teray bam-o-dar
Zarray zarray mein tiray khawabida hein shams-o-qamar
Yoon tto poshidah hein teri khak mein lakhon gohor
Dafan tujh mein koi fakhray rozgar aysa bhi hay?
Tujh mein pinhan koi moti aab-dar aysa bhi hay?
