Hamderdi

Tehni pe kisi shajar ki tanha
Bulbul tha koi udaas baitha

Kehta tha k raat ser pe ai
Urnay chugnay mai din guzara

Pohanchoon kis terah aashiyan tak
Her cheez pe cha gaya andhera

Sun ker bulbul ki aah-o-zaari
Jugnu Koi paas hi se bola

Hazir hoon madad ko dil-o-jaan se
Keera hoon agar ch mai zara sa

Kia gham hai jo raat hai andheri
Mai raah mai roshni keroon ga

Allah ne di hai mujh ko mash'al
Chamka k mujhe diya banaya

Hain log wahi jahan mai achay
Aatay hain jo kaam doosron k

(Allama Mohammad Iqbal....Makhooz Az: William Copper)
