Allama Iqbal Poetry Shikwa jawab-e-shikwa

Dil Se Jo Baat Nikalti Hai, Asar Rakhti Hai

Par Nahin, Taaqat-e-Parwaaz Magar Rakhti Hai

Qudsi-Ul-Asal Hai, Riffat Pe Nazar Rakhti Hai
Khaak Se Uthti Hai, Gardoon Pe Guzar Rakhti Hai

Ishq Tha Fitna Gar-o-Sarkash-o-Chalaak Mera
Aasman Cheer Gaya Nala-e-Bebaak Mera

Peer-e-Gardoon Ne Kaha Sun Ke, Kahin Hai Koi!
Bole Sayyaare, Sar-e-Arsh-e-Bareen Hai Koi!

Chaand Kahta Tha, Nahin, Ahl-e-Zameen Hai Koi!
Kehkashaan Kehti Thi, Poshida Yahin Hai Koi!

Kuch Jo Samjha Tau Mere Shikwe Ko Rizwan Samjha 
Mujhe Jannat Se Nikala Huwa Insan Samjha

Thi Farishton Ko Bhi Hairat, Ke Yeh Awaz Hai Kya! 
Arsh Walon Pe Bhi Khulta Nahin Yeh Raaz Hai Kya!

Taa Sar-e-Arsh Bhi Insan Ki Tag-o-Taaz Hai Kya? 
Aa Gyi Khak Ki Chutki Ko Bhi Parwaaz Hai Kya?

                Ghafil Aadaab Se Yeh Sukkaan-e-Zameen Kaise Hain
               Shokh-o-Gustakh Yeh Pasti Ke Makeen Kaise Hain!

                                                           Iss Qadar Shokh Ke Allah Se Bhi Barham Hai 
                                                          Tha Jo Masjood-e-Malaeek Yeh Wohi Aadam Hai?

                                         Alam-e-Kaif Hai, Dana-e-Ramooz-e-Kam Hai
                                         Haan, Magar Ijz Ke Asrar Se Namehram Hai
