(Bal-e-Jibril-036) Mir-e-Sipah Na Saza, Lashkar Yaan Shakista Saf

Mir-e-Sipah Na Saza, Lashkariyan Shakista Saf
Aah ! Woh Teer-e-Neem Kush Jis Ka Na Ho Koi Hadaf

A recreant captain, a battle‐line thrown back,
The arrow hanging target‐less and slack!

Tere Muheet Mein Kahin Gohar-e-Zindagi Nahin
Dhoond Chuka Main Mouj Mouj, Dekh Chuka Sadaf Sadaf

Nowhere near you that shell which holds life’s pearl;
I have dragged the waves and searched the ocean’s track.

Ishq-e-Butan Se Hath Utha, Apni Khudi Mein Doob Ja
Naqsh-o-Nigar-e-Dair Mein Khoon-e-Jigar Na Kar Talaf

Plunge in your self, on idols dote no more,
Pour our no more heart’s blood for paint to deck

Khol Ke Kya Bayan Karun Sirr-e-Maqam-e-Marg-o-Ishq
Ishq Hai Marg-e-Ba-Sharaf, Marg Hayat-e-Be-Sharaf

Their shrines. I unveil the courts of Love and Death:
Death—life dishonored; Love—death for honor sake.

Sohbat-e-Peer-e-Room Se Mujh Pe Huwa Ye Raaz Fash
Lakh Hakeem Sar Bajeeb, Aik Kaleem Sar Bakaf

I gleaned in Rumi’s company: one bold heart
Is worth of learned heads the whole tame pack;

Misl-e-Kaleem Ho Agar Maarka Azma Koi
Ab Bhi Darkht-e-Toor Se Ati Hai Bang-e-‘LA TAKHAF’

Once more that voice from Sinai’s tree would cry
Fear not! if some new Moses led the attack.

Kheera Na Kar Saka Mujhe Jalwa e Danish e Farang
Surma Hai Meri Ankh Ka Khak e Madina o Najaf

No glitter of Western science could dazzle my eyes
The dust of Medina stains, like collyrium, black.

    The sight of the wisdom of the West couldn’t dazzle my eyes
    But the dust of Madina and Najaf is collyrium for my vision!

    خيرہ نہ کر سکا مجھے جلوہ دانش فرنگ
    سرمہ ہے ميری آنکھ کا خاک مدينہ و نجف
