متاع رائیگاں — اخترالایمان

Matā-e-Rāygān

Ye dard-e-zindagi kis kī amānat hai kise de doon
Koī wāris nahīñ is kā, matā-e-rāygān hai ye
Masīhā ab na āeñge, yahī nishtar rag-e-jāñ mein
Khalish bantā rahegā, merī sāñson mein nihāñ hai ye
Khudāyā, ham se pehle log bhī jo is zamīn par थे
Yūnhī pāmāl hote the, jo is ke ba'ad āeñge
Umīd-e-subah ke khanjar se zakhmi ho ke jāeñge?
(Kahāñ jā kar rukegā qāfila un sogwāron ka)
Ye phir bhī tere bande hain, terī hī hamd gāeñge
Inheñ āñkheñ to de dī haiñ, basārat bhī inheñ de de
Tujhe sab dhūñdte hain is tarah andhe hain sab jaise
Isī kore waraq par kuchh ibārat bhī inheñ de de
Khaṛā hai muñh kiye mashriq kī jānib, koī maghrib kī
Merī tasvīr mein in chīkhte rangon kī aisī kyā zarūrat thī)
Khudāyā, bakhsh de in be-gunāhoñ ke gunāhoñ ko
Ye ma'anī dhūñdte hain kashmakash mein raat aur din kī
Haqīqat ko samajhnā chāhte hain sāl aur sin kī
Ye sab majbūr hain, in par dar-e-tauba khulā rakhnā
Ye duniyā khauf aur lalach pe jis kī ñeev rakkhī hai
Isī miṭṭī se phūṭe hain, isī dhartī ke pāle hain
Ujālā bhī yahī hain is zamīn kā aur andherā bhī
Yahī shahkār hain terā, yahī paaoñ ke chhāle hain
(Ye sab ke sab libās-e-fākhira mein mailī bheṛeñ hain)
Ilāh al-Ālamīn, in kī khaṭā se dar-guzar karnā
Bahut ma'azoor hain ye khud-nagar apnī jibilat se
Muqaddar in kā hai shām-o-sahar ko roz sar karnā
Masā'ī in kī sīm-o-zar ke ḍheron mein badal denā
Tere pās āeñ, motī ke mahal mehnat kā phal denā
