Kharaj Ki Jo Gada Ho, Woh Qaisri Kya Hai!
The splendour of a monarch great is worthless for the free and bold:
Where lies the grandeur of a king, whose riches rest on borrowed gold?
Mujhe Bata To Sahi Aur Kafiri Kya Hai!
You pin your faith on idols vain and turn your back on Mighty God:
If this is not unbelief and sin, what else is unbelief and fraud?
Khabar Nahin Rawish-e-Banda Parwari Kya Hai
Luck favours the fool and the mean, and exalts and lifts to the skies
Only those who are base and low and know not how to patronize.
Na Ho Nigah Mein Shaukhi To Dilbari Kya Hai
One look from the eyes of the Fair can make a conquest of the heart:
There is no charm in the fair sweet, If it lacks this alluring art.
Ke Janta Hun Maal-e-Sikandari Kya Hai
I am a target for the hate of the mighty rich and the great,
As I know the end of Caesars great and know the freaks of luck or fate.
Khudi Ki Mout Ho Jis Mein Woh Sarwari Kya Hai!
To be a person great and strong is the end and aim of all;
But that rank is not real and true that is attained by the ego’s fall.
Wagarna Shair Mera Kya Hai, Shayari Kya Hai!
My bold and simple mode of life has captured each and every heart;
Though my numbers are lame and dull And lay no claim to poet’s art.
i love iqbal and his poetry :)

ReplyDeleteThese verses should be forwarded to all those who are at the helm of affairs especially President, chairman and members board of directors of National Bank of Pakistan who are mostly retired bureaucrats and got the top positions in their career by dint of seniority, but now playing with the fate of regular employees of NBP by approving the promotion policy of discretional appraisals and socalled interviews while they got promotions in their career by completion of courses with no adverse report but in order of seniority. Are they not accountable to Allah Almighty as they have blocked way of eligible regular employees. Safarish is a sine qua non for promotion. Once again are management and member board of directors not accountable to Allah almighty.
