Kamal-E-Tark Hai Taskheer-E-Khaki-O-Noori
The way to renounce is to conquer the earth and heaven;
The way to renounce is not to starve oneself to death.
Tumhara Faqr Hai Be-Doulati-O-Ranjoori
O cultists! I like not your austere piety;
Your piety is penury, suffering and grief.
Who Qoum Jis Ne Ganwaya Mataa-E-Taimoori
A nation that has lost Taimur’s great heritage,
Is unfit for piety, and is unfit to rule.
Ayar-E-Garmi-E-Sohbat Hai Harf-E-Maazoori
If the sweet cup‐bearer listens not to me, it is good;
When I say, “no more,” that will only bring me more.
Kise Khabar K Tajalli Hai Ayn Mastoori
The Sufi and his peers are all engrossed in a glimpse;
They know not that concealment is itself a vision.
Na Hon To Sehat-E-Chaman Bhi Maqam-E-Majboori
Bondage is freedom with favours from on high,
And when favours are withheld, Even freedom is bondage.
Farang Dil Ki Kharabi, Khirad Ki Maamoori
The West is a treasure‐house for the reason’s quest;
But for the heart it is a source of decay and death

sub log zahir per hi dhayan daytay hian chahay arif wa sufi hi kyon na ho.
layken haqeeqat mai to wo wahan zahir hai jinho nay apnay apko kabhi zahir na kia ho..
why did iqbal praised taimur here in this poem when he is being/has been criticized by many muslim intellectuals who consider him as the cause of ruin of many a muslim cities? ? ? ?
