Hamala

ae hamala! ae faseel e kishwar e hindustan

choomta ha teri paishani ko jhuk ker aasman

 tujh mein kuch paida nahin derina rozee ke nishan

tu jawan hai gardish e sham o saher ke darmiyan

aik jalwa tha kaleem e toor e sina ke liye

tu tajali hai sarapa chasm e beena ke liye

imtihan e didah zahir mein kohistan hai tu

pasban apna hai tu, dewar e hindustan hai tu

matla e awwal falak jis ka ho vo diwan hai tu

suay khilwat gah e dil daman kash e insan hai tu

barf ne bandhi hai dastar e fazilat tere sar

khanda zan hai kalah e meher e aalam taab par

teri umar e rafta ki ek aan hai ehad e kuhan

wadiyon mein hain teri kali ghataen khema zan

chotiyan teri surayya se hain sargaram e sukhan

tu zameen per aur pehna e falak tera watan

chasma e daman tera aaeena siyyal hai

daman e mouj e hawa jis ke liye rumal hai

abar ke hathon mein rahwar e hawa ke waste

taziyana de diya barq e sar e kohsar ne

Ae hamala koi bazi gah hai tu bhi, jise

dast e qudrat ne banaya hai aanasir ke liye

haye kya firat e tarab mein jhoomta jata hai abar

feel e be zanjeer ki surat ura jata hai abar

junbish e mouj e naseem e subah gehwara bani

jhoomti hai nasha e husti mein har gul ki kali

yun zuban e berg se goya hai iss ke khamshi

dast e gulcheen ki jhatak mein ne nahin dekhi kabhi

keh rahi hai meri khamoshi hi afsana mera

kunj e khalwat khana e qudrat hai kashana mera

aati hai nadi faraz e koh se gati huwi

kausar o tasneem ki moujon ko sharmati huwi

aaeena sa shahid e qudrat ko dikhlati huwi

sang e reh se gah bachti gah takrati huwi

chairti ja iss iraq e dil nasheen ke saaz ko

ae musafir dil samjhta hai teri awaz ko

laila e shab kholti hai aa ke jab zulf e rasa

daman e dil khenchti hai aabsharon ke sada

vo khamoshi sham ki jis per takalum ho fida

vo darkhton per tafakkur ka saman chaya huwa

kanpta phirta hai kya rang e shafaq kohsar per

khushnuma lagta hai ye ghazah tere rukhsar per

ae hamala! dastan uss waqt ki koi suna

maskan e aabaay insan jab bana daman tera

kuch bata uss seedhi sadi zindagi ka majra

dagh jis par ghaza rang e takalluf ka na tha

Haan dikha de ae tasawwar phir woh subah o sham tu

dorh piche ki taraf ae ghardish e ayyam tu
