Soze dil chahiye, chashm-e num chahiye aur shoqِ talabb mooatbar chahiye
hon muyassar madeeney ki galian agar, aankh kaafi nahi hai nazar chahiye
un ki mehfil ke aadaab kuch aur hain, lab kushai ki jurrat munasib nahi
un ki sarkar mein iltija ke liye, jnbshِ lab nahi, chashm-e tar chahiye
apni ro daad gham mein sunadun kisay, mere dukh ko koi aur samjhay ga kya ?
jis ki khakِ qadam bhi hai khakِ Shifa , mere zakhamo ko woh charah gir chahiye
ronaqai zindagi ki bohat dekh len, ab mein aankhon ko apni karoon ga bhi kya
ab nah kuch deedni hai, nah kuch guftuni, mujh ko aaqa ki bas ik nazar chahiye
mein gdaye dar-e shahِ konain hon, sheesh mehloon ki mujh ko tamanna nahi
ho muyassar zamee pay ke zair-e zamee, mujh ko tayyiba mein ik apna ghar chahiye
un naye raastoon ki nai roshni, hum ko raas aayi hai aur nah raas aaye gi
hum ko khoyi hui roshni chahiye, hum ko ayen kher al-bashr chahiye
gosha gosha madeeney ka par noor hai, sara mahol jalwon se maamoor hai
shart yeh hai ke zarf-e nazar chahiye, dekhnay ko koi deedaa war chahiye
midhat shahِ kon o makan ke liye sirf lafz o bayan ka sahara nah lo
fnِ sheri hai Iqbal apni jagah, naat kehnay ko khon-e jigar chahiye
