(Zarb-e-Kaleem-117) Shua-e-Umeed

Shua-e-Umeed

Suraj Ne Diya Apni Shuaon Ko Ye Pegham
Dunya Hai Ajab Cheez, Kabhi Subah Kabhi Sham

Muddat Se Tum Awara Ho Pehnaye Faza Mein
Barhti Hi Chali Jati Hai Be-Mehri-e-Ayyam

Ne Rait Ke Zarron Pe Chamakne Mein Hai Rahat
Ne Misl-e-Saba Tof-e-Gul-o-Lala Mein Aram

Phir Mere Tajalli Kudah-e-Dil Mein Sama Jao
Choro Chamanistan-o-Byaban-o-Dar-o-Baam

Afaaq Ke Har Goshe Se Uthti Hain Shuaen
Bichre Huwe Khursheed Se Hoti Hain Hum Aghosh

Ek Shor Hai, Maghrib Mein Ujala Nahin Mumkin
Afrang Machinon Ke Duhwain Se Hai Sayah Posh

Mashriq Nahin Go Lazzat-e-Nazara Se Mehroom
Lekin Sifat-e-Alam-e-Lahoot Hai Khamosh

Phir Hum Ko Ussi Seena-e-Roshan Mein Chupa Le
Ae Mehr-e-Jahan Taab! Na Kar Hum Ko Faramosh

Ek Shoukh Kiran, Shoukh Misal-e-Nigah-e-Hoor
Aram Se Farigh, Sift-e-Jouhar-e-Seemab

Boli Ke Mujhe Rukhsat-e-Tanveer Atta Ho
Jab Tak Na Ho Mashriq Ka Har Ek Zarra Jahan Taab

Choron Gi Na Main Hind Ki Tareek Faza Ko
Jab Tak Na Uthain Khawab Se Mardan-e-Garan Khawab

Khawar Ki Umeedon Ka Yehi Khak Hai Markaz
Iqbal Ke Ashkon Se Yehi Khak Hai Seerab

Chashm-e-Mah-e-Parveen Hai Issi Khak Se Roshan
Ye Khak Ke Hai Jis Ka Khazaf Raiza Dur-e-Naab

Iss Khak Se Uthte Hain Woh Ghawwas-e-Maani
Jin Ke Liye Har Behar-e-Pur Aashob Hai Payab

Jis Saaz Ke Naghmon Se Hararat Thi Dilon Mein
Mehfil Ka Wohi Saaz Hai Begana-e-Mizrab

Butkhane Ke Darwaze Pe Sota Hai Barhman
Taqdeer Ko Rota Hai Musalman Teh-e-Mehrab

Mashriq Se Ho Bezar, Na Maghrib Se Hazar Kar
Fitrat Ka Ishara Hai Ke Har Shab Ko Sehar Kar !
