Taskheer-e-Maqam-e-Rang-o-Bu Kar
Nature before your mind present,
Subdue this world of hue and scent.
Khoyi Huwi Shay Ki Justuju Kar
Of Selfhood you appear bereft,
To find the thing lost go on quest.
Tu Bhi Ye Maqam Arzu Kar
The stars do shine in boundless space,
Desire to get this lofty place.
Chaak-e-Gul-o-Lala Ko Rafu Kar
Disrobed the houris of your mead,
The rose and tulip darning need.
Jo Uss Se Na Ho Saka, Woh Tu Kar !
Of urge, though Nature not deplete,
Yet where it fails you must complete.
I think the last verse is missing here:
ReplyDeleteبے ذوق نہيں اگرچہ فطرت
جو اس سے نہ ہو سکا ، وہ تو کر!
I was reading this along side on allamaiqbal.com and found it there but not here.
