Marsiya Gopal Krishn Gokhle

laraz raha tha watan jis KHayal ke Dar se

wo aaj KHun rulata hai dida-e-tar se

sada ye aati hai phal phul aur patthar se

zamin pe taj gira qaum-e-hind ke sar se

habib qaum ka duniya se yun rawana hua

zamin ulaT gai kya munqalib zamana hua

baDhi hui thi nahusat zawal-e-paiham ki

tere zuhur se taqdir qaum ki chamki

nigah-e-yas thi hindustan pe aalam ki

ajib shai thi magar raushni tere dam ki

tujhi ko mulk mein raushan dimagh samjhe the

tujhe gharib ke ghar ka charagh samjhe the

watan ko tu ne sanwara kis aab-o-tab ke sath

sahar ka nur baDhe jaise aaftab ke sath

chune rifah ke gul husn-e-intiKHab ke sath

shabab qaum ka chamka tere shabab ke sath

jo aaj nashw-o-numa ka naya zamana hai

ye inqalab teri umr ka fasana hai

raha mizaj mein sauda-e-qaum KHu ho kar

watan ka ishq raha dil ki aarzu ho kar

badan mein jaan rahi waqf-e-abru ho kar

ragon mein josh-e-mohabbat rahe lahu ho ho kar

KHuda ke hukm se jab aab-o-gil bana tera

kisi shahid ki miTTi se dil bana tera

watan ki jaan pe kya kya tabahiyan aain

umanD umanD ke jihaalat ki badliyan aain

charagh-e-amn bujhane ko aandhiyan aain

dilon mein aag lagane ko bijliyan aain

is intishaar mein jis nur ka sahaara tha

ufuq pe qaum ke wo ek hi sitara tha

hadis-e-qaum bani thi teri zaban ke liye

zaban mili thi mohabbat ki dastan ke liye

KHuda ne tujh ko payambar kiya yahan ke liye

ki tere hath mein naqus tha azan ke liye

watan ki KHak teri bargah-e-ala hai

hamein yahi nai masjid naya shiwala hai

gharib hind ne tanha nahin ye dagh saha

watan se dur bhi tufan ranj-o-gham ka uTha

habib kya hain harifon ne ye zaban se kaha

safir-e-qaum jigar-band-e-saltanat na raha

payam shah ne diya rasm-e-taziyat ke liye

ki tu sutun tha aiwan-e-saltanat ke liye

dilon mein naqsh hain ab tak teri zaban ke suKHan

hamari rah mein goya charagh hain raushan

faqir the jo tere dar ke KHadman-e-watan

unhen nasib kahan hoga ab tera daman

tere alam mein wo is tarah jaan khote hain

ki jaise bap se chhuT kar yatim rote hain

ajal ke dam mein aana hai yun to aalam ko

magar ye dil nahin tayyar tere matam ko

pahaD kahte hain duniya mein aise hi gham ko

miTa ke tujh ko ajal ne miTa diya hum ko

janaza hind ka dar se tere nikalta hai

suhag qaum ka teri chita mein jalta hai

rahega ranj zamane mein yaadgar tera

wo kaun dil hai ki jis mein nahin mazar tera

jo kal raqib tha hai aaj sogwar tera

KHuda ke samne hai mulk sharmsar tera

pali hai qaum tere saya-e-karam ke tale

hamein nasib thi jannat tere qadam ke tale
