Tarana e Hindustan- Watan se Mohabbat
Saare jahan se achha Hindustan hamara
Hum hum bulbulen hain us ke ye gulistan hamara
Gurbat mein hoon agar hum rehta hai dil watan mein
samjho wahein humein bhi dil ho jahan hamara
Perbat woh sab se ooncha hamsaya aasman ka
Woh santri humara,woh paasbaan hamara
Ae aab-e-rod e Ganga! woh din hain yaad tujko
Utra tere kinare Jab karwaan hamara
Mazhab nahin sikhata aapas mein bair rakhna
Hindi hain hum watan hai Hindustan hamara
Yunan o Misr o Roma sab mit gaye jahan se
Ab tak magar hai baqi naam-o-nishan hamara
Kuch baat hai ke hasti mitti nahin hamari
Sadiyon raha hai dushman daur-e-zaman hamara
Iqbal: koi mehram apna nahin jahan mein
Maloom kya kisi ko dard-e-nahan hamara
Tashree/ Matlab
Yeh tarana Iqbal ne us waqt likha tha jab woh ek watan parast insaan ki tarah muttahida Hindustan ko hi apna sab kuch samajhte the. Ek mohib-e-watan shayar ki haisiyat se unka zehan in ashaar mein har tarah ki ikhtilafaat aur ta’assubaat se paak nazar aata hai. Unke zehan mein buniyadi masla us waqt sirf aur sirf angrez ki ghulami ka tha, isiliye in ashaar mein bhi kahin kahin is taraf ishaare milte hain. Farmate hain:
Matlab: Perbat: pahad.. Aab-e-rod Ganga: Ganga ke dariya ka pani.
Daur-e-zaman: zamanay ki gardish.
Doosre Desh Mein Rahne Balo ke Dil
Iqbal doosre sher mein kehte hain ke agar hum safar (journey) mein hoon ya kisi doosre desh (country) mein rahte hoon, to bhi hamare dil mein apne desh ki mohabbat hamesha rehti hai. Isliye, pardes (foreign country) mein rahkar bhi humein hamara khun apne watan (matrubhumi) se juda hua mehsoos hota hai.
Himalaya – Hindustan Ka Rakshak
Yeh waqai proud ki baat hai ke Himalaya jaisa uncha pahaad (high mountain), jiski chotiyan (peaks) aksar aasman ko chu deti hain, woh hamare protector aur guard ki tarah sadaiv khada hai. Hamare pyare desh (dear nation) mein hazaron nadiyan aur nalae (streams) failay huye hain, jo is zameen ko hamesha hara-bhara (green and fertile) banaye rakhte hain.
Iqbal ka Dariya‑e‑Ganga se sawal
Is sher mein Iqbal dariya-e-Ganga se poochhte hain ke kya tujhe woh din yaad hai jab hamara kafila tere kinare par pahuncha tha. Yaad rahe ke Allama ke baap dada (purkhe) Brahman the aur hazaron saal pehle South Asia se apne sheher chhodh kar Hindustan aaye the. Unka ishara isi waqye ki taraf hai.
Mazhabi Bhedbhaav Aur Ekta Ka Paighaam
Is sher mein Iqbal apne daur ke mazhabi bhedbhaav (religious discrimination) ki taraf ishara karte hue kehte hain ke koi mazhab bhi aapas ki dushmani nahi sikhata, balki mil jul kar rehne aur ekta (unity) ki taleem deta hai. Humein yeh baat bhoolni nahi chahiye ke hamara desh Hindustan hai aur hum sab Hindustani hain — matlab is ke rehne wale log.
Purani civilizations Ki Mitne Aur Hindustan Ki Pehchaan
Yeh ek sach hai ke duniya ki badi aur purani sabhyataen (civilizations) jaise Yunan (Greece), Misr (Egypt) aur Rome ka naam tha, woh waqt ke saath mit gayin. Lekin aaj bhi, itne badlav (changes) aur inquilab (revolutions) ke bawajood, hum Hindustani ab tak apni pehchaan aur sabhyata (culture) bachaye hue hain.
Hindustaniyon Ki Special Quality
Aakhir hum mein koi aisi khaas baat (special quality) to zarur hai jiski wajah se humein kabhi girawat (downfall) nahi aayi, jabke waqt ke chalne se (guzarte zamaane se) humesha mushkilen rehti aayi hain.
Desh se Mohabbat Ka Izhar
Nazm ke is aakhri sher mein Iqbal apni andar ki halat (inner feelings) ka ishara karte hue kehte hain:
Matlab: Hindustan hamara aisa desh hai jo poori duniya se behtareen aur khoobsurat lagta hai. Agar isko ek bagicha (garden) samjha jaye to humari misaal usmein rehne wali chidiyaon (bulbulon) jaisi hai jo khushi ke geet gaati rehti hain. Is duniya mein hamara koi bhi apna (close dost ya samajhne wala) nahi, aur na hi koi aisa hai jo hamare dil ka dard samajh sake.
