Hubb-e-watan

ai siphar-e-barin ke sayyaro

ai faza-e-zamin ke gul-zaro

ai pahaDon ki dil-fareb faza

ai lab-e-ju ki ThanDi ThanDi hawa

ai anadil ke naghma-e-sahari

ai shab-e-mahtab taron bhari

ai nasim-e-bahaar ke jhonko

dahr-e-na-paedar ke dhoko

tum har ek haal mein ho yun to aziz

the watan mein magar kuchh aur hi chiz

jab watan mein hamara tha ramna

tum se dil bagh bagh tha apna

tum meri dil-lagi ke saman the

tum mere dard-e-dil ke darman the

tum se kaTta tha ranj-e-tanhai

tum se pata tha dil shakebai

aan ek ek tumhaari bhati thi

jo ada thi wo ji lubhati thi

karte the jab tum apni gham-KHwari

dhoi jati thin kulfaten sari

jab hawa khane bagh jate the

ho ke KHush-haal ghar mein aate the

baiTh jate the jab kabhi lab-e-ab

dho ke uThte the dil ke dagh shitab

koh o sahra o aasman o zamin

sab meri dil-lagi ki shaklen thin

par chhuTa jis se apna mulk o dayar

ji hua tum se KHud-ba-KHud bezar

na gulon ki ada KHush aati hai

na sada bulbulon ki bhati hai

sair-e-gulshan hai ji ka ek janjal

shab-e-mahtab jaan ko hai wabaal

koh o sahra se ta lab-e-dariya

jis taraf jaen ji nahin lagta

kya hue wo din aur wo raaten

tum mein agli si ab nahin baaten

hum hi ghurbat mein ho gae kuchh aur

ya tumhaare badal gae kuchh taur

go wahi hum hain aur wahi duniya

par nahin hum ko lutf duniya ka

ai watan ai mere bahisht-e-barin

kya hue tere aasman o zamin

raat aur din ka wo saman na raha

wo zamin aur wo aasman na raha

teri duri hai morid-e-alam

tere chhuTne se chhuT gaya aaram

kaTe khata hai bagh bin tere

gul hain nazron mein dagh bin tere

miT gaya naqsh kaamrani ka

tujh se tha lutf zindagani ka

jo ki rahte hain tujh se dur sada

in ko kya hoga zindagi ka maza

ho gaya yan to do hi din mein ye haal

tujh bin ek ek pal hai ek ek sal

sach bata to sabhi ko bhata hai

ya ki mujh se hi tera nata hai

main hi karta hun tujh pe jaan nisar

ya ki duniya hai teri aashiq-e-zar

kya zamane ko tu aziz nahin

ai watan tu to aisi chiz nahin

jin o insan ki hayat hai tu

murgh o mahi ki kaenat hai tu

hai nabaatat ka numu tujh se

rukh tujh bin hare nahin hote

sab ko hota hai tujh se nashw-o-numa

sab ko bhati hai teri aab-o-hawa

teri ek musht-e-KHak ke badle

lun na hargiz agar bahisht mile

jaan jab tak na ho badan se juda

koi dushman na ho watan se hawa

hamla jab qaum-e-arya ne kiya

aur baja un ka hind mein Danka

mulk wale bahut se kaam aae

jo bache wo ghulam kahlae

shudr kahlae rakshas kahlae

ranj pardes ke magar na uThae

go ghulami ka lag gaya dhabba

na chhuTa un se des par na chhuTa

qadr ai dil watan mein rahne ki

puchhe pardesiyon ke ji se koi

jab mila ram-chandr ko ban-bas

aur nikla watan se ho ke udas

bap ka hukm rakh liya sar par

par chala sath le ke dagh-e-jigar

panw uThta tha us ka ban ki taraf

aur khinchta tha dil watan ki taraf

guzre ghurbat mein is qadar mah-o-sal

par na bhola ayodhya ka KHayal

des ko ban mein ji bhaTakta raha

dil mein kanTa sa ek khaTakta raha

tir ek dil mein aa ke lagta tha

aati thi jab ayodhya ki hawa

kaTne chaudah baras hue the muhaal

goya ek ek jug tha ek ek sal

hue yasrib ki samt jab rahi

sayyed-e-abtahi ke hamrahi

rishte ulfat ke sare toD chale

aur bilkul watan ko chhoD chale

go watan se chale the ho ke KHafa

par watan mein tha sab ka ji aTka

dil-lagi ke bahut mile saman

par na bhule watan ke registan

dil mein aaThon pahar khaTakte the

sang-reze zamin-e-batha ke

ghar jafaon se jin ki chhuTa tha

dil se rishta na un ka TuTa tha

huin yusuf ki saKHtiyan jab dur

aur hua mulk-e-misr par mamur

misr mein chaar su tha hukm rawan

aankh thi jaanib-e-watan nigaran

yaad-e-kanan jab us ko aati thi

saltanat sari bhul jati thi

dukh uThae the jis watan mein saKHt

taj bhata na us baghair na taKHt

jin se dekhi thi saKHt be-mehri

lau thi un bhaiyon ki dil ko lagi

hum bhi hubb-e-watan mein hain go gharq

hum mein aur un mein hai magar ye farq

hum hain nam-e-watan ke diwane

wo the ahl-e-watan ke parwane

jis ne yusuf ki dastan hai suni

jaanta hoga ruedad us ki

misr mein qaht jab paDa aa kar

aur hui qaum bhuk se muztar

kar diya waqf un pe baitulmal

lab tak aane diya na harf-e-sawal

khatiyan aur koThe khol diye

muft sare zaKHire tol diye

qafile KHali hath aate the

aur bharpur yan se jate the

yun gae qaht ke wo sal guzar

jaise bachchon ki bhuk waqt-e-sahar

ai dil ai banda-e-watan hoshiyar

KHwab-e-ghaflat se ho zara bedar

o sharab-e-KHudi ke matwale

ghar ki chaukhaT ke chumne wale

nam hai kya isi ka hubb-e-watan

jis ki tujh ko lagi hui hai lagan

kabhi bachchon ka dhyan aata hai

kabhi yaron ka gham satata hai

yaad aata hai apna shahr kabhi

lau kabhi ahl-e-shahr ki hai lagi

naqsh hain dil pe kucha-o-bazar

phirte aankhon mein hain dar-o-diwar

kya watan kya yahi mohabbat hai

ye bhi ulfat mein koi ulfat hai

is mein insan se kam nahin hain darind

is se KHali nahin chairnd o parind

TukDe hote hain sang ghurbat mein

sukh jate hain rukh furqat mein

ja ke kabul mein aam ka pauda

kabhi parwan chaDh nahin sakta

aa ke kabul se yan bihi-o-anar

ho nahin sakte barwar zinhaar

machhli jab chhuTti hai pani se

hath dhoti hai zindagani se

aag se jab hua samundar dur

us ko jine ka phir nahin maqdur

ghoDe jab khet se bichhaDte hain

jaan ke lale un ke paDte hain

gae, bhains unT ho ya bakri

apne apne Thikane KHush hain sabhi

kahiye hubb-e-watan isi ko agar

hum se haiwan nahin hain kuchh kam-tar

hai koi apni qaum ka hamdard

nau-e-insan ka samjhen jis ko fard

jis pe itlaq-e-admi ho sahih

jis ko haiwan pe de saken tarjih

qaum par koi zad na dekh sake

qaum ka haal-e-bad na dekh sake

qaum se jaan tak aziz na ho

qaum se baDh ke koi chiz na ho

samjhe un ki KHushi ko rahat-e-jaan

wan jo nau-roz ho to id ho yan

ranj ko un ke samjhe maya-e-gham

wan agar sog ho to yan matam

bhul jae sab apni qadr-e-jalil

dekh kar bhaiyon ko KHwar-o-zalil

jab paDe un pe gardish-e-aflak

apni aasaishon pe Dal de KHak

baiThe be-fikr kya ho ham-watano

uTho ahl-e-watan ke dost bano

mard ho tum kisi ke kaam aao

warna khao piyo chale jao

jab koi zindagi ka lutf uThao

dil ko dukh bhaiyon ke yaad dilao

pahno jab koi umda tum poshak

karo daman se ta gareban chaak

khana khao to ji mein tum sharmao

ThanDa pani piyo to ashk bahao

kitne bhai tumhaare hain nadar

zindagi se hai jin ka dil bezar

naukaron ki tumhaare jo hai ghiza

un ko wo KHwab mein nahin milta

jis pe tum jutiyon se phirte ho

wan mayassar nahin wo oDhne ko

khao to pahle lo KHabar un ki

jin pe bipta hai nisti ki paDi

pahno to pahle bhaiyon ko pahnao

ki hai utran tumhaari jin ka banaw

ek Dali ke sab hain barg-o-samar

hai koi un mein KHushk aur koi tar

sab ko hai ek asl se paiwand

koi aazurda hai koi KHursand

muqbilo mudabbiron ko yaad karo

KHush-dilo gham-zadon ko shad karo

jagne wale ghafilon ko jagao

tairne walo Dubton ko tirao

hain mile tum ko chashm o gosh agar

lo jo li jae kor-o-kar ki KHabar

tum agar hath panw rakhte ho

langDe lulon ko kuchh sahaara do

tandurusti ka shukr kiya hai batao

ranj bimar bhaiyon ka haTao

tum agar chahte ho mulk ki KHair

na kisi ham-watan ko samjho ghair

ho musalman us mein ya hindu

bodh mazhab ho ya ki ho brahamu

jafri howe ya ki ho hanafi

jin-mat howe ya ho waishnawi

sab ko miThi nigah se dekho

samjho aankhon ki putliyan sab ko

mulk hain ittifaq se aazad

shahr hain ittifaq se aabaad

hind mein ittifaq hota agar

khate ghairon ki Thokaren kyunkar

qaum jab ittifaq kho baiThi

apni punji se hat dho baiThi

ek ka ek ho gaya bad-KHwah

lagi ghairon ki paDne tum pe nigah

phir gae bhaiyon se jab bhai

jo na aani thi wo bala aai

panw iqbaal ke ukhaDne lage

mulk par sab ke hath paDne lage

kabhi turaniyon ne ghar luTa

kabhi durraniyon ne zar luTa

kabhi nadir ne qatl-e-am kiya

kabhi mahmud ne ghulam kiya

sab se aaKHir ko le gai bazi

ek shaista qaum maghrib ki

ye bhi tum par KHuda ka tha inam

ki paDa tum ko aisi qaum se kaam

warna dum marne na pate tum

paDti jo sar pe wo uThate tum

mulk raunde gae hain pairon se

chain kis ko mila hai ghairon se

qaum se jo tumhaare bartaw

socho ai mere pyaro aur sharmao

ahl-e-daulat ko hai ye istighna

ki nahin bhaiyon ki kuchh parwa

shahr mein qaht ki duhai hai

jaan-e-alam labon pe aai hai

bachche ek ghar mein bilbilate hain

ro ke man bap ko rulate hain

koi phirta hai mangta dar dar

hai kahin peT se bandha patthar

par jo hain un mein sahib-e-maqdur

un mein ginti ke honge aise ghayur

ki jinhen bhaiyon ka gham hoga

apni rahat ka dhyan kam hoga

jitne dekhoge paoge be-dard

dil ke namard aur nam ke mard

aish mein jin ke kaTte hain auqat

id hai din to shabbaraat hai raat

qaum marti hai bhuk se to mare

kaam unhen apne halwe-manDe se

in ko ab tak KHabar nahin aslan

shahr mein bhaw kya hai ghalle ka

ghalla arzan hai in dinon ki giran

kal hai shahr mein paDa ki saman

kal kya shai hai kis ko kahte hain bhuk

bhuk mein kyunki marte hain mafluk

ser bhuke ki qadr kya samjhe

us ke nazdik sab hain peT bhare

ahl-e-daulat ka sun chuke tum haal

ab suno ruedad-e-ahl-e-kamal

fazilon ko hai fazilon se inad

panditon mein paDe hue hain fasad

hai tabibon mein nok-jhok sada

ek se ek ka hai thuk juda

rahne do ahl-e-ilm hain is tarah

pahalwanon mein lag ho jis tarah

idu walon ka hai agar paTTha

sheKHu walon mein ja nahin sakta

shairon mein bhi hai yahi takrar

KHushnaweson ko hai yahi aazar

lakh nekon ka kyun na ho ek nek

dekh sakta nahin hai ek ko ek

is pe turra ye hai ki ahl-e-hunar

dur samjhe hue hain apna ghar

mili ek ganTh jis ko haldi ki

us ne samjha ki main hun pansari

nusKHa ek tib ka jis ko aata hai

sage-bhai se wo chhupata hai

jis ko aata hai phunkna kushta

hai hamari taraf se wo gunga

jis ko hai kuchh ramal mein malumat

wo nahin karta sidhe munh se baat

bap bhai ho ya ki ho beTa

bhed pata nahin munajjam ka

kaam kandle ka jis ko hai malum

hai zamane mein us ki buKHl ki dhum

al-gharaz jis ke pas hai kuchh chiz

jaan se bhi siwa hai us ko aziz

qaum par un ka kuchh nahin ehsan

un ka hona na hona hai yaksan

sab kamalat aur hunar un ke

qabr mein un ke sath jaenge

qaum kya kah ke un ko roegi

nam par kyun ki jaan khoegi

tarbiyat-yafta hain jo yan ke

KHwah b-a hon is mein ya ma

bharte hubb-e-watan ka go dam hain

par muhibb-e-watan bahut kam hain

qaum ko un se jo umiden thin

ab jo dekha to sab ghalat niklin

history un ki aur geography

sat parde mein munh diye hai paDi

band us qufl mein hai ilm un ka

jis ki kunji ka kuchh nahin hai pata

lete hain apne dil hi dil mein maze

goya gunge ka guD hain khae hue

karte phirte hain sair-e-gul tanha

koi pas un ke ja nahin sakta

ahl-e-insaf sharm ki ja hai

gar nahin buKHl ye to phir kya hai

tum ne dekha hai jo wo sab ko dikhao

tum ne chakha hai jo wo sab ko chakhao

ye jo daulat tumhaare pas hai aaj

ham-watan is ke hain bahut mohtaj

munh ko ek ek tumhaare hai takta

ki nikalta hai munh se aap ke kya

aap shaista hain to apne liye

kuchh suluk apni qaum se bhi kiye

mez kursi agar lagate hain aap

qaum se puchhiye to pun hai na pap

munDa juta gar aap ko hai pasand

qaum ko is se faeda na gazand

qaum par karte ho agar ehsan

to dikhao kuchh apna josh-e-nihan

kuchh dinon aish mein KHalal Dalo

peT mein jo hai sab ugal Dalo

ilm ko kar do ku-ba-ku arzan

hind ko kar dikhao englistan

sunte ho samain-e-ba-tamkin

sunte ho hazrin-e-sadr-nashin

jo hain duniya mein qaum ke hamdard

banda-e-qaum un ke hain zan o mard

bap ki hai dua ye bahr-e-pisar

qaum ki main banaun us ko sipar

man KHuda se ye mangti hai murad

qaum par se nisar ho aulad

bhai aapas mein karte hain paiman

tu agar mal de to main dun jaan

ahl-e-himmat kama ke late hain

ham-watan faede uThate hain

kahin hote hain madrase jari

daKHl aur KHarj jin ke hain bhaari

aur kahin hote hain club qaem

mabhas-e-hikmat aur adab qaem

nit-nae khulte hain dawa-KHane

bante hain saikDon shifa-KHane

mulk mein jo maraz hain aalam-gir

qaum par un ki farz hai tadbir

qaum ko pahunche manfat jis se

mulk mein phailen faede jis ke

khap gae kitne ban ke jhaDon mein

mar gae saikDon pahaDon mein

likhe jab tak jiye safar-name

chal diye hath mein qalam thame

go safar mein uThae ranj-e-kamal

kar diya par watan ko apne nihaal

dar-o-diwar-e-paris o london

kaam hain sab bashar ke ham-watanon

tum se bhi ho sake to mard bano

chhoDo afsurdagi ko josh mein aao

bas bahut soe uTTho hosh mein aao

qafile tum se baDh gae koson

rahe jate ho sab se pichhe kyun

qafilon se agar mila chaho

mulk aur qaum ka bhala chaho

gar raha chahte ho izzat se

bhaiyon ko nikalo zillat se

un ki izzat tumhaari izzat hai

un ki zillat tumhaari zillat hai

qaum ka mubtadil hai jo insan

be-haqiqat hai garche hai sultan

qaum duniya mein jis ki hai mumtaz

hai faqiri mein bhi wo ba-eazaz

izzat-e-qaum chahte ho agar

ja ke phailao un mein ilm-o-hunar

zat ka faKHr aur nasab ka ghurur

uTh gae ab jahan se ye dastur

ab na sayyad ka iftiKHar sahih

na barhaman ko shudr par tarjih

hui turki tamam KHanon mein

kaT gai jaD se KHandanon mein

qaum ki izzat ab hunar se hai

ilm se ya ki sim-o-zar se hai

koi din mein wo daur aaega

be-hunar bhik tak na paega

na rahenge sada yahi din raat

yaad rakhna hamari aaj ki baat

gar nahin sunte qaul 'haali' ka

phir na kahna ki koi kahta tha
