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
