Iqbaal Ke Mazar Par

lahad mein so rahi hai aaj be-shak musht-e-KHak us ki

magar garm-e-amal hai jagti hai jaan-e-pak us ki

wo ek fani bashar tha main ye bawar kar nahin sakta

bashar iqbaal ho jae to hargiz mar nahin sakta

ba-zer-e-saya-e-diwar-e-masjid hai jo aasuda

ye KHaki jism hai sattar baras ka rah paimuda

ye KHaki jism bhi us ka bahut hi besh-qimat tha

jise ham-jalwa samjhe the wo parda bhi ghanimat tha

use hum napte the le ke aankhon hi ka paimana

ghazal-KHwan us ko jaana hum ne shair us ko gardana

faqat surat hi dekhi us ke mani hum nahin samjhe

na dekha rang-e-taswir aaine ko dil-nashin samjhe

hamein zof-e-basarat se kahan thi tab-e-nazzara

sikhae us ke parde ne hamein aadab-e-nazzara

ye naghma kya hai zer-e-parda-ha-e-saz kam samjhe

rahe sab gosh-bar-awaz lekin raaz kam samjhe

shikast-e-paikar-e-mahsus ne toDa hijab aaKHir

tulu-e-subh-e-mahshar ban ke chamka aaftab aaKHir

muqayyad ab nahin 'iqbaal' apne jism-e-fani mein

nahin wo band hail aaj dariya ki rawani mein

wajud-e-marg ki qael nahin thi zindagi us ki

taala allah ab dekhe koi paindagi us ki

jise hum murda samjhe zinda tar painda tar nikla

mah o KHurshid se zarre ka dil tabinda tar nikla

abhi andaza ho sakta nahin us ki bulandi ka

abhi duniya ki aankhon par hai parda firqa-bandi ka

magar meri nigahon mein hain chehre un jawanon ke

jinhen 'iqbaal' ne baKHshe hain bazu qahar-manon ke
