Allama Iqbal: Sayyad Ki Loh E Turbat

Poem "Sayyad Ki Loh E Turbat" From "Bang E Dara" by Dr. Allama Muhammad Iqbal

SAYYAD KI LOH E TURBAT

AYE KEH TERA MURGH E JAN TAR E NAFAS MEIN HAY ASEER
AYE KEH TERI ROOH KA TAIR QAFAS MEIN HAY ASEER
IS CHAMAN KAY NAGHMA E PERAOON KI AZADI TOW DEKH
SHEHAR (City) JO UJRRA HUWA THA US KI ABADI TOW DEKH
FIKAR REHTI THI MUJHAY JIS KI WO MEHFIL HAY YEHI
SABR O ISTAKLAL KI KHETI KA HASIL HAY YEHI

SANG E TURBAT HAY MERA GARWEEDA E TAQREER DEKH
CHASHM E BATIN SAY ZARA IS LOH KI TEHREER DEKH

MUDAA TERA AGAR DUNYA MEIN HAY TALEEM DEIN
TARK E DUNYA QOUM KO APNI NA SIKHLANA KAHEIN
WA NA KARNA FIRQA BANDI KAY LIYE APNI ZUBAN
CHUP KAY HAY BEDTHA HUWA HANGAMA E MEHSHAR YAHAN
WISAL KAY ASBAB PEDA HOON TERI TEHREER SAY
DEKH! KOI DIL NA DUKH JAYE TARI TAKREER SAY

MEHFIL E NO MEIN PURANI DASTAN KO NA CHERR
RANG PER JO AB NA AEIN UN FASANOON KO NA CHERR

TOO AGAR KOI MUDABBIR HAY TOW SUN MERI SADA
HAY DLERI DAST E ARBAB E SAYASAT KA ASA
ARZ E MATLAB SAY JHIJAK JANA NAHI ZEBA TUJHAY
NEK HAY NIYYAT AGAR TERI TOW KIA PARWA TUJHAY

BANDA E MOMIN KA DIL BEEM O RAYA SAY PAK HAY
QUWWAT E FARMAN RAWA KAY SAMNAY BE BAK HAY

HO AGAR HATHOON MEIN TERAY KHAMA E MOUJAZ RAQAM
SHEESHA E DIL HO AGAR TERA MISAL E JAM E JAM
PAK RAKH APNI ZUBAN TALMEEZ E REHMANI HAY TOO
HO NA JAYE DEKHNA TERI SADA BE ABROO!

SONAY WALOON KO JAGA DAY SHER KAY AIJAZ SAY
KHIRMAN E BATIL JALA DAY SHOLA E AWAZ SAY
