papa miyan

paapā miyāñ zamāne meñ kyā naam kar ga.e

tārīḳh-e-hind meñ vo nayā kaam kar ga.e

mahrūm-e-ilm-o-fan thiiñ musalmāñ thiiñ laḌkiyāñ

māhaul kī ghuTan se pareshāñ thiiñ laḌkiyāñ

ta.alīm auratoñ ko mile ye gunāh thā

kyā kahiye kaisā qaum kā hāl-e-tabāh thā

paapā miyāñ ke azm ne ye kar dikhāyā kaam

jis ko sabhī samajh rahe the ik ḳhayāl-e-ḳhām

kyā kyā muḳhālifat kā na tūfān sah ga.e

vo kar dikhāyā log sabhī dañg rah ga.e

begam bhī jān-o-dil se thiiñ un kī rafīq-e-kār

ehsān laḌkiyoñ pe haiñ un ke bhī be-shumār

paudā jo kal thā ab shajar-e-sāya-dār hai

paapā miyāñ ke baaġh meñ kaisī bahār hai

phūlā-phalā rahe ye gulistān-e-ilm-o-fan

qaa.em rahe zamāne meñ paapā kī anjuman

papa miyan zamane mein kya nam kar gae

tariKH-e-hind mein wo naya kaam kar gae

mahrum-e-ilm-o-fan thin musalman thin laDkiyan

mahaul ki ghuTan se pareshan thin laDkiyan

talim auraton ko mile ye gunah tha

kya kahiye kaisa qaum ka haal-e-tabah tha

papa miyan ke azm ne ye kar dikhaya kaam

jis ko sabhi samajh rahe the ek KHayal-e-KHam

kya kya muKHalifat ka na tufan sah gae

wo kar dikhaya log sabhi dang rah gae

begam bhi jaan-o-dil se thin un ki rafiq-e-kar

ehsan laDkiyon pe hain un ke bhi be-shumar

pauda jo kal tha ab shajar-e-saya-dar hai

papa miyan ke bagh mein kaisi bahaar hai

phula-phala rahe ye gulistan-e-ilm-o-fan

qaem rahe zamane mein papa ki anjuman
