Phir Iss Mein Ajab Kya Ke Tu Be-Baak Nahin Hai
Of passion’s glow your heart is blank, your glances are not chaste and frank:
To wonder at then there is naught that bold and dauntless you are not.
Ghafil! Tu Nira Sahib-E-Adraak Nahin Hai
A longing strong for God’s display, is also hid in self‐same clay:
O heedless man, let this be known, brains alone you do not own.
Purkaar-O-Sukhan Saaz Hai, Nam Naak Nahin Hai
The eye whose light and luster rest on collyrium brought from West:
Is full of art, conceit and show, it gets not wet at others’ woe.
Un Ka Sar-E-Daman Bhi Abhi Chaak Nahin Hai
How can the priest and monk assess the height of craze that I possess?
still sound the hems of robes they wear, which have no rifts and know no tear.
Ya Main Nahin, Ya Gardish-E-Aflaak Nahin Hai
How long the stars shall hold their sway on fate of man, sprung from clay?
Either bereft of life I drop, or the Wheel of Fate must stop.
Mere Liye Shayan-E-Khas-O-Khashaak Nahin Hai
Lightning I am and keep my eye on waste and hill that reach the sky:
Heaps of straw and mounds of dust, too low they are, avoid I must.
Momin Nahin Jo Sahib-E-Loulaak Nahin Hai !
That godly man gets world’s bequest, who risks his life in ceaseless quest:
That man no Faith can claim at all who lives not up to Prophet’s call.
بسیار خوب۔ این مرا پسندیدہ تر است۔
ReplyDeleteWhat does lolaak mean???
ReplyDeletelolaak hi the highest place in sky.
Deletelolak indicates to nabi sallallaho alehe wasallam.its arabian word
DeleteLolaak mean follower. follower of Prophet Muhammad Instructions.
ReplyDeleteAp Sallallaho Alehe wassalm is called Sahib e Lolak. Lo lalak is a hadeeth' text, in which it is said by Allah that there would have been no kaynat had been no Muhammad (Sallallaho alehe wasallam). May Allah forgive me for incorrect quote, but as far as I remember now, I once read that this hadeeth has some week reference and can not be taken as 100% authentic one.

I want to learn Iqbal Poetry and explanation and everything about Iqbal I love Iqbal. Always when I read I feel Iqbal is giving message to all Muslims ( Keep in mind He said I am preaching Quran and Hadith so this message is for all creation Kainat) My Mobile no 03348235698.
ReplyDeleteI don't get the exact idea behind the use of "daaman" in Iqbal's poetry. He has used it in many poems but I am not clear with this concept.
ReplyDelete"Kya Sufi o Mullah Ko khabar mere junoo'n kee,
In ka sar-e-daaman bhi abhi chaak nahi hai."

DeleteAllama was a great thinker who expressed himself thru poetry. His focus was reforming the Ummah. If we read this in the light of modern sociological and anthropological thought I find it a lack of understanding of how cultures work and evolve. He dreams of an ideal Muslim(momen) and Islamic society and is saddened by lack of many things among Muslims of his times (lack of soz ,effects of foreign cultures viz. farang, i.e. British's effects and modification of behavior of Muslims etc). In his jawabe shikwa he mentions of caste system without realizing that it was inevitable due to culture contact with India.
