دور حاضر ہے حقیقت میں وہی عہد قدیم

اہل سجادہ ہیں یا اہل سیاست ہیں امام

Daur-e-hazir hai haqiqat mein vahi ahd-e-qadim

Ahl-e-sajjada hain ya ahl-e-siyasat hain imam

اس میں پیری کی کرامت ہے نہ میری کا ہے زور

سینکڑوں صدیوں سے خوگر ہیں غلامی کے عوام

Is mein piri ki karamat hai na miri ka hai zor

Sainkdon sadiyon se khugar hain ghulami ke avam

خواجگی میں کوئی مشکل نہیں رہتی باقی

پختہ ہو جاتے ہیں جب خوئے غلامی میں غلام!

Khvajgi mein koi mushkil nahin rahti baqi

Pukhta ho jaate hain jab khu-e-ghulami mein ghulam!

About this nazm

Three couplets titled "Lordship". The present age is the old age in truth: the leaders are men of the prayer mat or men of politics, the common people have been used to servitude for centuries, and ruling is easy once the ruled are set in the habit of being ruled.
