Habib Jalib – Pakistan Ka Matlab Kya

Habib Jalib
Habib Jalib a renowned Pakistani Urdu poet of 20th century. He was born on 28th of February 1928 in Hoshiarpur, Indian Punjab. He was famous for his bold and revolutionary poetry.
Although each and every piece of his poetry is a master piece, but some of my all time favorites are “Pakistan Ka Matlab Kya” and “Khatre mein Islam nahin”. This was the voice that echoed all over at time of Pakistan’s Freedom.
I am posting Habib Jalib’s poems here with respect and hoping that we as Nation along with our politicians can revise the message given in these poems.
Pakistan Ka Matlab Kya?
Roti, kapda aur dawa
Ghar rehne ko chhota sa
Muft mujhe talim dila
Mein bhi Musalmaan hoon wallah
Pakistan ka matlab kya
La Ilaha Illalah…
Amrika se mang na bhik
Mat kar logon ki tazhik
Rok na jamhoori tehrik
Chhod na azadi ki rah
Pakistan ka matlab hai kya
La Ilaha Illalah…
Khet waderon se le lo
Milen luteron se le lo
Mulk andheron se le lo
Rahe na koi Alijah
Pakistan ka matlab kya
La Ilaha Illalah…
Sarhad, Sindh, Baluchistan
Teenon hain Panjab ki jaan
Aur Bangal hai sab ki aan
Aai na un ke lab par aah
Pakistan ka matlab kya
La Ilaha Illalah…
Baat yehi hai bunyadi
Ghasib ki ho barbadi
Haq kehte hain haq agah
Pakistan ka matlab kya
La Ilaha Illalah…
