تمام خلق کا خدمت گزار ہے پانی

رگوں میں خون بدن میں نکھار ہے پانی
گلوں میں حسن چمن میں بہار ہے پانی [...]

جب قطع کی مسافتِ شب آفتاب نے
جلوہ کیاسحر کے رخِ بے حجاب نے

دیکھا سوئے فلک شہ گردوں رکاب نے
مڑ کر صدا رفیقوں کو دی اس جناب نے [...]

آج شبیرؔ پہ کیا عالمِ تنہائی ہے
ظلم کی چاند پہ زہراؔ کی گھٹا چھائی ہے

اس طرف لشکرِ اعدا میں صف آرائی ہے
یاں نہ بیٹا نہ بھتیجا نہ کوئی بھائی ہے [...]

किस शेर की आमद है कि रन काँप रहा है
रुस्तम का जिगर ज़ेर-ए-कफ़न काँप रहा है

हर क़स्र-ए-सलातीन-ए-ज़मन काँप रहा है
सब एक तरफ़ चर्ख़-ए-कुहन काँप रहा है [...]

kis nur ki majlis mein meri jalwagari hai
kis nur ki majlis mein meri jalwagari hai

jis nur se pur-nur ye nur-e-nazari hai
aamad hi mein hairan qayas-e-bashri hai [...]

arsh ke nuri zamin ke farsh par aane ko hain
aur ek khaki ko sair-e-khuld dikhlane ko hain
bagh-e-jannat ko sidhaara sayyad-e-ali-maqam
rah mein us ki malaek nur barsane ko hain
wae-hasrat chal diya duniya se wo mahbub-e-qaum
aur jo baqi hain us ke hijr mein jaane ko hain
saqi-e-marhum tere baada-khwaron ke liye
khun-e-dil pine ko aur lakht-e-jigar khane ko hain
gulshan-e-millat mein ghunchon ne abhi kholi thi aankh
ek jhonke se khizan ke ab wo murjhane ko hain
chhup gaya wo ru-e-rakhshan mehr-e-alam-tab ka
ab shab-e-yalda ki har-su zulmaten chhane ko hain
ai shah-e-be-taj wo matam ki tere dhum hai
taj-daron ke alam is gham se jhuk jaane ko hain
dasht mein dun lag rahi hai qais ke matam mein aaj
aahuwan-e-najd ki aankhon mein ashk aane ko hain
ek sine mein thi sayyad ke tadap islam ki
hum musalman sab barae nam kahlane ko hain
karwan-e-qaum ka hangama tere dam se tha
ye na tha malum hazrat kuch farmane ko hain
bosa-gah-e-qaum hoga tere sang-e-astan
naqsh-e-pa par tere lakhon qafile aane ko hain
har zaman in rahguzar ra karwan-e-digar ast
kushtagan-e-ishq ra har lakht jaan-e-digar ast
hae wo khurshid-e-anwar chehra-e-taban tera
hae wo mah-e-munawwar aariz-e-rakhshan tera
wo nigahen jaan-faza aur wo adaen dil-ruba
wo jabin-e-dil-kusha wo dil-faroz unwan tera
hae us rish-e-mubarak par wo barish nur ki
sham-e-piri mein bayaz-e-subh nur-afshan tera
hae wo jaan-e-basirat tera nurani dimagh
hae wo kan-e-mohabbat sina-e-sozan tera
wo teri shan-e-jalali wo tera roab-e-jamal
pad gai jis par nazar tha banda-e-farman tera
mehdi-o-mushtaq hamdam shibli-o-haali nadim
aur zain-ul-abdin khasai-e-khasan tera
baam-o-dar collage ke hain matam mein tere sar nigun
marsiyan-khwan ban gaya har kakh-o-har-aiwan tera
dil se khisht-o-sang ke collage mein uthti hai sada
kya hua mir-e-imarat khana-e-viran tera
ta-jahan mein hai tere nana ki ummat ko baqa
qaum mein matam rahega sayyad-ahmad-khan tera
banda-parwar waqt-e-rukhsat yaad farmaya na kyun
nazir-e-mahjur tha wabasta-e-daman tera
ai chaman paira-e-millat tere shauq-e-did mein
tha nawa-sanj-e-fughan ye bulbul-e-bustan tera
sar-ba-sahra ab rahenge aah diwane tere
sham-e-turbat ka karenge tauf parwane tere
hae bazm-e-qaum mein ab jalwa farmaega kaun
mah ke manind haale mein nazar aaega kaun
ai masiha qaum ke tujh bin izam-e-khasta ko
qum-be-izni kah ke ab jumbish mein phir laega kaun
dekh kar chitwan teri uthte the dil mein walwale
is nigah-e-garm se ab dil ko garmaega kaun
tha tera ru-e-munawwar ek najm-e-rahnuma
ab wo nurani faza zulmat mein dikhlaega kaun
us shua-e-ruh-parwar se phir ai mah-e-munir
dil ke dariya mein wo raqs-e-mauj dikhlaega kaun
khana-jangi har taraf hai mashar-e-islam mein
hae tujh bin in ke ye uljhao suljhaega kaun
dar-o-gir-e-dahr misl-e-arsa-e-shatranj hai
yar-e-shatir ban ke is ki chaal batlaega kaun
ghuggiyon ka rup bhar kar qaum ki stage par
ma nami khwahem nang-o-nam ra gaega kaun
ruth kar jata hai sayyad aao len is ko mana
warna itni mushkilen aasan farmaega kaun
dafn karna sahn mein collage ke sir-sayyad ki lash
is khalilullah se kabe ko chhudwaega kaun
yun to lakhon aaenge is najd mein aur jaenge
sayyad ahmad sa junun-saman magar aaega kaun
ai harifan aan qadah ba-shikast-o-an saqi numand
jura-e-juz ashk-e-khun dar jam-e-ma baqi numand
sayyad-e-marhum ummat ka bhala karta raha
fikr-e-millat roz-o-shab subh-o-masa karta raha
jo falah-e-qaum ki aai samajh mein us ki baat
barmala kahta raha aur barmala karta raha
thi use parwah-e-tahsin aur na kuchh nafrin ka dar
us ko jo karna tha be-ru-o-riya karta raha
na-saza sunta raha aur marhaba kahta raha
kufr ke fatwon mein kaam islam ka karta raha
gar hue nakaamiyon se hausle yaron ke past
himmat-e-ali ka apni iqtiza karta raha
qaum mein phir taza zauq-e-but-parasti dekh kar
ek naya kaba aligarh mein bana karta raha
ai ki collage ke ye qasr-o-khak-o-aiwan dekhiye
kaam jo shahon ka tha so ye gada karta raha
us ne ki islam aur auham-e-baatil mein tamiz
zang se aaina-e-din ki jila karta raha
kufr ke hamlon mein tha islam ki daim sipar
aalam-e-ummat ye kar-e-ambiya karta raha
shahid-e-urdu ki zulfon ke nikale pech-o-kham
husn ke ghamzon ko fitrat-ashna karta raha
ye chali thi ummat-e-marhum sail-e-ghadr mein
maut ke tufan mein kar-e-nakhuda karta raha
zindagi sayyad ki thi qalb-e-tapan ki zindagi
thi jahan ki zindagi jaan-e-jahan ki zindagi
chhup gaya wo mehr-e-taban bazm-e-dauran chhod kar
matla-e-ummid ka tarik unwan chhod kar
fasl-e-gul mein wo chala bazm-e-gulistan chhod kar
shakh sare aarzu ke gul-ba-daman chhod kar
nala-e-dil-doz sahn-e-bostan mein sar kiya
bulbulan-e-zar ne daras-e-gulistan chhod kar
aa liya sail-e-fana ne karwan salar ko
qafile ko dasht-e-hirman mein pareshan chhod kar
pir-e-kanan ki judai se jigar hai pash pash
go chala hai misr mein wo mah-e-kanan chhod kar
so gaya kunj-e-lahad mein shah-e-be-taj-o-sarir
bagh-o-ragh-o-bargah-o-qasr-o-aiwan chhod kar
faiz se tere rahi wabasta hasil ki ummid
tishna-lab kahti na jae abr-e-naisan chhod kar
ye to batla de ki hai kis ka sahaara qaum ko
kaba-e-dil qibla-e-jaan tera daman chhod kar
kaun hoga mard-e-maidan ab masaf-e-dahr ka
hath mein kis ke chala hai go wo chaugan chhod kar
banda-parwar ye junun-e-ishq ke shayan na tha
sair-e-gulzar-e-iram khar-e-mughilan chhod kar
gahe-gahe qaum ki haalat pe bhi karna nazar
sair-e-jannat chhod kar gul-gasht-e-rizwan chhod kar
is chaman mein ruh mandlati rahegi aap ki
jaegi bulbul kahan bazm-e-gulistan chhod kar
dar-e-fani ki hai 'nazir' garche fani zindagi
kushtagan-e-ishq ki hai jawedani zindagi
