جاوید کے نام ۔ محمّد اِقبال
۱
دیارِ عشق میں اپنا مقام پیدا کر
نیا زمانہ نئے صبح و شام پیدا کر
۲
خدا اگر دِلِ فطرت شناس دے تجھ کو
سکوتِ لالہ و گل سے کلام پیدا کر
۳
اُٹھا نہ شیشہ گرانِ فرنگ کے احساں
سفالِ ہند سے مینا و جام پیدا کر
۴
میں شاخِ تاک ہوں میری غزل ہے میرا ثمر
مرے ثمر سے مئے لالہ فام پیدا کر
۵
مرا طریق امیری نہیں فقیری ہے
خودی نہ بیچ، غریبی میں نام پیدا کر
जावेद के नाम – मोहम्मद इक़्बाल
१
दयार-ए इश्क़ में अपना मक़ाम पैदा कर
नया ज़माना नया सुबह ओ शाम पैदा कर
२
ख़ुदा अगर दिल-ए फ़ित्रत-शनास दे तुझ को
सुकूट-ए लाला ओ गुल से कलाम पैदा कर
३
उठा ना शीशा-गरान-ए फ़रँग के एह्साँ
सिफ़ाल-ए हिन्द से मीना ओ जाम पैदा कर
४
मैँ शाख़-ए ताक हूँ मेरी गज़ल है मेरा समर
मेरे समर से मै-ए लाला फ़ाम पैदा कर
५
मेरा तरीक़ अमीरी नहिँ फ़क़ीरी है
ख़ुदी ना बेच, ग़रीबी में नाम पैदा कर
