A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF URDU POETRY

YOUM-E-PAKISTAN MUBARAK

Khuda kare ke meri arz-e-Pak par utray
wo fasl-e-gul jisse andesha-e-zawal na ho

Yahan jo phool khile wo khila rahe sadiyon
yahan khizan ko guzarne ki bhi majal na ho

Khuda kare k mere ik bhi ham-watan k liye
Hayaat bojh na ho zindagi wabal na ho


*******

Ho saki tere rukh par na qurban agar, aur kis kaam aye gi yeh zindagee
Apne khoon se barhate rahenge sada, tere gul rang chehre ki tabindagee
Jab tujhe roshni ki zuroorat parhi, apni mhfil ke shams-o-amar denge hum
Tu Salamat rahe, tu salamat rahe, Aye nigaar-e-watan tu salamat rahe
