main ki waqf-e-gham-e-dauran na hua tha so hua
maiñ ki vaqf-e-ġham-e-daurāñ na huā thā so huā
chaak ab tak jo garebāñ na huā thā so huā
paar dil ke koī paikāñ na huā thā so huā
yuuñ kabhī dard kā darmāñ na huā thā so huā
koī va.ada koī paimāñ na huā thā so huā
itnā nādāñ dil-e-nādāñ na huā thā so huā
Dūbte rahte the har roz hazāroñ sūraj
phir bhī ashkoñ se charāġhāñ na huā thā so huā
kyā kahūñ lāla-e-pur-ḳhūñ ko ki jis ke baa.is
mushtahar jo ġham-e-insāñ na huā thā so huā
is se pahle ki tirī yaad ke bādal chhā.eñ
mujh ko andāza-e-tūfāñ na huā thā so huā
hai asar merī hī āshufta-sarī kā shāyad
vo mujhe dekh ke hairāñ na huā thā so huā
haa.e vo ek nazar lutf-o-karam se jis ke
tujh se bhī jo ġham-e-daurāñ na huā thā so huā
shukriya un ke sitam kā ki yuuñ hī ai 'iqbāl'
aaj tak mujh pe jo ehsāñ na huā thā so huā
main ki waqf-e-gham-e-dauran na hua tha so hua
chaak ab tak jo gareban na hua tha so hua
par dil ke koi paikan na hua tha so hua
yun kabhi dard ka darman na hua tha so hua
koi wada koi paiman na hua tha so hua
itna nadan dil-e-nadan na hua tha so hua
Dubte rahte the har roz hazaron suraj
phir bhi ashkon se charaghan na hua tha so hua
kya kahun lala-e-pur-KHun ko ki jis ke bais
mushtahar jo gham-e-insan na hua tha so hua
is se pahle ki teri yaad ke baadal chhaen
mujh ko andaza-e-tufan na hua tha so hua
hai asar meri hi aashufta-sari ka shayad
wo mujhe dekh ke hairan na hua tha so hua
hae wo ek nazar lutf-o-karam se jis ke
tujh se bhi jo gham-e-dauran na hua tha so hua
shukriya un ke sitam ka ki yun hi ai 'iqbaal'
aaj tak mujh pe jo ehsan na hua tha so hua
