Shikwa

kyun zayan-kar banun sud-faramosh rahun

fikr-e-farda na karun mahw-e-gham-e-dosh rahun

nale bulbul ke sunun aur hama-tan gosh rahun

ham-nawa main bhi koi gul hun ki KHamosh rahun

jurat-amoz meri tab-e-suKHan hai mujh ko

shikwa allah se KHakam-ba-dahan hai mujh ko

hai baja shewa-e-taslim mein mashhur hain hum

qissa-e-dard sunate hain ki majbur hain hum

saz KHamosh hain fariyaad se mamur hain hum

nala aata hai agar lab pe to mazur hain hum

ai KHuda shikwa-e-arbab-e-wafa bhi sun le

KHugar-e-hamd se thoDa sa gila bhi sun le

thi to maujud azal se hi teri zat-e-qadim

phul tha zeb-e-chaman par na pareshan thi shamim

shart insaf hai ai sahib-e-altaf-e-amim

bu-e-gul phailti kis tarah jo hoti na nasim

hum ko jamiyat-e-KHatir ye pareshani thi

warna ummat tere mahbub ki diwani thi

hum se pahle tha ajab tere jahan ka manzar

kahin masjud the patthar kahin mabud shajar

KHugar-e-paikar-e-mahsus thi insan ki nazar

manta phir koi an-dekhe KHuda ko kyunkar

tujh ko malum hai leta tha koi nam tera

quwwat-e-bazu-e-muslim ne kiya kaam tera

bas rahe the yahin saljuq bhi turani bhi

ahl-e-chin chin mein iran mein sasani bhi

isi mamure mein aabaad the yunani bhi

isi duniya mein yahudi bhi the nasrani bhi

par tere nam pe talwar uThai kis ne

baat jo bigDi hui thi wo banai kis ne

the hamin ek tere marka-araon mein

KHushkiyon mein kabhi laDte kabhi dariyaon mein

din azanen kabhi europe ke kalisaon mein

kabhi africa ke tapte hue sahraon mein

shan aankhon mein na jachti thi jahan-daron ki

kalma paDhte the hamin chhanw mein talwaron ki

hum jo jite the to jangon ki musibat ke liye

aur marte the tere nam ki azmat ke liye

thi na kuchh teghzani apni hukumat ke liye

sar-ba-kaf phirte the kya dahr mein daulat ke liye

qaum apni jo zar-o-mal-e-jahan par marti

but-faroshi ke ewaz but-shikani kyun karti

Tal na sakte the agar jang mein aD jate the

panw sheron ke bhi maidan se ukhaD jate the

tujh se sarkash hua koi to bigaD jate the

tegh kya chiz hai hum top se laD jate the

naqsh-e-tauhid ka har dil pe biThaya hum ne

zer-e-KHanjar bhi ye paigham sunaya hum ne

tu hi kah de ki ukhaDa dar-e-KHaibar kis ne

shahr qaisar ka jo tha us ko kiya sar kis ne

toDe maKHluq KHudawandon ke paikar kis ne

kaT kar rakh diye kuffar ke lashkar kis ne

kis ne ThanDa kiya aatish-kada-e-iran ko

kis ne phir zinda kiya tazkira-e-yazdan ko

kaun si qaum faqat teri talabgar hui

aur tere liye zahmat-kash-e-paikar hui

kis ki shamshir jahangir jahan-dar hui

kis ki takbir se duniya teri bedar hui

kis ki haibat se sanam sahme hue rahte the

munh ke bal gir ke hu-allahu-ahad kahte the

aa gaya ain laDai mein agar waqt-e-namaz

qibla-ru ho ke zamin-bos hui qaum-e-hijaz

ek hi saf mein khaDe ho gae mahmud o ayaz

na koi banda raha aur na koi banda-nawaz

banda o sahab o mohtaj o ghani ek hue

teri sarkar mein pahunche to sabhi ek hue

mahfil-e-kaun-o-makan mein sahar o sham phire

mai-e-tauhid ko le kar sifat-e-jam phire

koh mein dasht mein le kar tera paigham phire

aur malum hai tujh ko kabhi nakaam phire

dasht to dasht hain dariya bhi na chhoDe hum ne

bahr-e-zulmat mein dauDa diye ghoDe hum ne

safha-e-dahr se baatil ko miTaya hum ne

nau-e-insan ko ghulami se chhuDaya hum ne

tere kabe ko jabinon se basaya hum ne

tere quran ko sinon se lagaya hum ne

phir bhi hum se ye gila hai ki wafadar nahin

hum wafadar nahin tu bhi to dildar nahin

ummaten aur bhi hain un mein gunahgar bhi hain

ijz wale bhi hain mast-e-mai-e-pindar bhi hain

un mein kahil bhi hain ghafil bhi hain hushyar bhi hain

saikDon hain ki tere nam se be-zar bhi hain

rahmaten hain teri aghyar ke kashanon par

barq girti hai to bechaare musalmanon par

but sanam-KHanon mein kahte hain musalman gae

hai KHushi un ko ki kabe ke nigahban gae

manzil-e-dahr se unTon ke hudi-KHwan gae

apni baghlon mein dabae hue quran gae

KHanda-zan kufr hai ehsas tujhe hai ki nahin

apni tauhid ka kuchh pas tujhe hai ki nahin

ye shikayat nahin hain un ke KHazane mamur

nahin mahfil mein jinhen baat bhi karne ka shuur

qahr to ye hai ki kafir ko milen hur o qusur

aur bechaare musalman ko faqat wada-e-hur

ab wo altaf nahin hum pe inayat nahin

baat ye kya hai ki pahli si mudaraat nahin

kyun musalmanon mein hai daulat-e-duniya nayab

teri qudrat to hai wo jis ki na had hai na hisab

tu jo chahe to uThe sina-e-sahra se habab

rah-raw-e-dasht ho saili-zada-e-mauj-e-sarab

tan-e-aghyar hai ruswai hai nadari hai

kya tere nam pe marne ka ewaz KHwari hai

bani aghyar ki ab chahne wali duniya

rah gai apne liye ek KHayali duniya

hum to ruKHsat hue auron ne sambhaali duniya

phir na kahna hui tauhid se KHali duniya

hum to jite hain ki duniya mein tera nam rahe

kahin mumkin hai ki saqi na rahe jam rahe

teri mahfil bhi gai chahne wale bhi gae

shab ki aahen bhi gain subh ke nale bhi gae

dil tujhe de bhi gae apna sila le bhi gae

aa ke baiThe bhi na the aur nikale bhi gae

aae ushshaq gae wada-e-farda le kar

ab unhen DhunD charagh-e-ruKH-e-zeba le kar

dard-e-laila bhi wahi qais ka pahlu bhi wahi

najd ke dasht o jabal mein ram-e-ahu bhi wahi

ishq ka dil bhi wahi husn ka jadu bhi wahi

ummat-e-ahmad-e-mursil bhi wahi tu bhi wahi

phir ye aazurdagi-e-ghair sabab kya mani

apne shaidaon pe ye chashm-e-ghazab kya mani

tujh ko chhoDa ki rasul-e-arabi ko chhoDa

but-gari pesha kiya but-shikani ko chhoDa

ishq ko ishq ki aashufta-sari ko chhoDa

rasm-e-salman o uwais-e-qarani ko chhoDa

aag takbir ki sinon mein dabi rakhte hain

zindagi misl-e-bilal-e-habashi rakhte hain

ishq ki KHair wo pahli si ada bhi na sahi

jada-paimali-e-taslim-o-raza bhi na sahi

muztarib dil sifat-e-qibla-numa bhi na sahi

aur pabandi-e-ain-e-wafa bhi na sahi

kabhi hum se kabhi ghairon se shanasai hai

baat kahne ki nahin tu bhi to harjai hai

sar-e-faran pe kiya din ko kaamil tu ne

ek ishaare mein hazaron ke liye dil tu ne

aatish-andoz kiya ishq ka hasil tu ne

phunk di garmi-e-ruKHsar se mahfil tu ne

aaj kyun sine hamare sharer-abaad nahin

hum wahi soKHta-saman hain tujhe yaad nahin

wadi-e-najd mein wo shor-e-salasil na raha

qais diwana-e-nazzara-e-mahmil na raha

hausle wo na rahe hum na rahe dil na raha

ghar ye ujDa hai ki tu raunaq-e-mahfil na raha

ai KHusha aan roz ki aai o ba-sad naz aai

be-hijabana su-e-mahfil-e-ma baz aai

baada-kash ghair hain gulshan mein lab-e-ju baiThe

sunte hain jam-ba-kaf naghma-e-ku-ku baiThe

daur hangama-e-gulzar se yaksu baiThe

tere diwane bhi hain muntazir-e-hu baiThe

apne parwanon ko phir zauq-e-KHud-afrozi de

barq-e-derina ko farman-e-jigar-sozi de

qaum-e-awara inan-tab hai phir su-e-hijaz

le uDa bulbul-e-be-par ko mazaq-e-parwaz

muztarib-e-bagh ke har ghunche mein hai bu-e-niyaz

tu zara chheD to de tishna-e-mizrab hai saz

naghme betab hain taron se nikalne ke liye

tur muztar hai usi aag mein jalne ke liye

mushkilen ummat-e-marhum ki aasan kar de

mor-e-be-maya ko ham-dosh-e-sulaiman kar de

jins-e-na-yab-e-mohabbat ko phir arzan kar de

hind ke dair-nashinon ko musalman kar de

ju-e-KHun mi chakad az hasrat-e-dairina-e-ma

mi tapad nala ba-nishtar kada-e-sina-e-ma

bu-e-gul le gai bairun-e-chaman raaz-e-chaman

kya qayamat hai ki KHud phul hain ghammaz-e-chaman

ahd-e-gul KHatm hua TuT gaya saz-e-chaman

uD gae Daliyon se zamzama-pardaz-e-chaman

ek bulbul hai ki mahw-e-tarannum ab tak

us ke sine mein hai naghmon ka talatum ab tak

qumriyan shaKH-e-sanobar se gurezan bhi huin

pattiyan phul ki jhaD jhaD ke pareshan bhi huin

wo purani rawishen bagh ki viran bhi huin

Daliyan pairahan-e-barg se uryan bhi huin

qaid-e-mausam se tabiat rahi aazad us ki

kash gulshan mein samajhta koi fariyaad us ki

lutf marne mein hai baqi na maza jine mein

kuchh maza hai to yahi KHun-e-jigar pine mein

kitne betab hain jauhar mere aaine mein

kis qadar jalwe taDapte hain mere sine mein

is gulistan mein magar dekhne wale hi nahin

dagh jo sine mein rakhte hon wo lale hi nahin

chaak is bulbul-e-tanha ki nawa se dil hon

jagne wale isi bang-e-dira se dil hon

yani phir zinda nae ahd-e-wafa se dil hon

phir isi baada-e-dairina ke pyase dil hon

ajami KHum hai to kya mai to hijazi hai meri

naghma hindi hai to kya lai to hijazi hai meri
