Gul-E-Rangin

Allama Iqbal

tu shanasa-e-kharash-e-uqda-e-mushkil nahin

ai gul-e-rangin tire pahlu men shayad dil nahin

zeb-e-mahfil hai sharik-e-shorish-e-mahfil nahin

ye faraghat bazm-e-hasti men mujhe hasil nahin

is chaman men main sarapa soz-o-saz-e-arzu

aur teri zindagani be-gudaz-e-arzu

tod lena shakh se tujh ko mira aaiin nahin

ye nazar ghair-az-nigah-e-chashm-e-surat-bin nahin

aah ye dast-e-jafa jo ai gul-e-rangin nahin

kis tarah tujh ko ye samjhaun ki main gulchin nahin

kaam mujh ko dida-e-hikmat ke uljhedon se kya

dida-bulbul se men karta huun nazzara tera

sau zabanon par bhi khamoshi tujhe manzur hai

raaz vo kya hai tire siine men jo mastur hai

meri surat tu bhi ik barg-e-riyaz-e-tur hai

main chaman se duur huun tu bhi chaman se duur hai

mutmain hai tu pareshan misl-e-bu rahta huun main

zakhmi-e-shamshir-e-zauq-e-justuju rahta huun main

ye pareshani miri saman-e-jamiyat na ho

ye jigar-sozi charagh-e-khana-e-hikmat na ho

na-tavani hi miri sarmaya-e-quvvat na ho

rashk-e-jam-e-jam mira aina-e-hairat na ho

ye talash-e-muttasil sham-e-jahan-afroz hai

tausan-e-idrak-e-insan ko khiram-amoz hai
