Allama Iqbal
jab ishq sikhata hai adab-e-khud-agahi
khulte hain ghulamon par asrar-e-shahanshahi
‘attar’ ho ‘rumi’ ho ‘razi’ ho ‘ghazali’ ho
kuchh haath nahin aata be-ah-e-sahar-gahi
naumid na ho in se ai rahbar-e-farzana
kam-kosh to hain lekin be-zauq nahin raahi
ai tair-e-lahuti us rizq se maut achchhi
jis rizq se aati ho parvaz men kotahi
daara o sikandar se vo mard-e-faqir aula
ho jis ki faqiri men bu-e-asadul-lahai
ain-e-javan-mardan haq-goi o be-baki
allah ke sheron ko aati nahin rubahi
