Aqqal e insaan

Aqqal go aastaan se door nahin,
Us ki taqdeer main huzoor nahin,

Dill-e-beena bhi kar khuda se talab,
Aankh ka noor dil ka noor nahin,

Ilm main bhi suroor hai lekin,
Yeh woh jannat hai jis main huur nahin,

Kya ghazab hai ke is zamaane main,
Ek bhi saahib-e-surooor nahin,

Ik junoon hai ke baa-shauur bhi hai,
Ik junoon hai ke baa-shauur nahin,

Na-suburi hai zindagi dil ki,
Aah woh dil ki na-subuur nahin,

Be-huzuri hai teri maut ka raaz,
Zinda ho tu to be-huzur nahin,

Har gohar se sadaf ko torr diya,
Tu hi aamaada-e-zuhuur nahin,

Areni main bhi keh raha hoon magar,
Yeh hadeess-e-kalima-o-tuur nahin..

By Allama Iqbal
