Shikwaa (Allama Muhammad Iqbal)

Shikwaa  ( part 1)(Bang-e-Dra-105)
                            Poet: Allama Muhammad Iqbal

                Kyun Ziyaankar Banu, Sood Faramosh Rahoon?

                Fikr-e-Farda Na Karoon, Mehw-e-Gham-e-Dosh Rahoon?

                Naal-e-Bulbul Ke Sunoon Aur Hamatan Gosh Rahoon?

                Hamnawa Main Bhi Koi Gul Hoon Ke Khamosh Rahoon?

Jurr'at Aamoz Meri Taab-e-Sukhan Hai Mujhko!

Shikwa Allah Se Khakam Badhan Hai Mujhko!

               Hai Baja Shewa-e-Tasleem Mein Mash'hoor Hain Hum;

               Qissa-e-Dard Sunaate Hain Ke Majboor Hain Hum.

               Saaz Khaamosh Hain, Fariyaad Se Maamoor Hain Hum;

               Nala Aata Hai Agar Lab Pe Tho Ma'zoor Hain Hum.

Aye Khuda Shikwa-e-Arbaab-e-Wafa Bhi Sunle;

Khugar-e-Hamd Se Thoda Sa Gila Bhi Sunle.

Thi Tho Maujood Azal Se Hi Teri Zaat-e-Qadeem;

Phool Tha Zaib-e-Chaman, Par Na Pareshaan Thi Shameem.

Shart Insaaf Hai Aye Saahib-e-Althaaf-e-Ameen;

Boo-e-Gul Phailti Kis Tarha Jo Hoti Na Naseem?

               Hamko Jamee'at-e-Khatir Ye Pareshaani Thi

              Warna Ummat Tere Mehboob (saw) Ki, Diwaani Thi?
