(Bal-e-Jibril-116) Dam-e-Arif Nasim-e-Subah-Dam Hai

Dam-e-Arif Naseem-e-Subahdam Hai
Issi Se Resha-e-Ma’ani Mein Nam Hai

The mysticʹs soul is like the morning breeze:
It freshens and renews lifeʹs inner meaning;

Agar Koi Shoaib Aye Mayassar
Shabani* Se Kaleemi Do Kadam Hai

*Shaban ka matlab Charwaha/Gaderiya

An illumined soul can be a shepherdʹs, who
Could hear the Voice of God at Godʹs command.

    Brother,

    Shaban means Charwaha (Shepherd) ya Gaderiya. Hazrat Musa (Moses) A.S. was a shepherd by occupation before he got to the status of Prophethood. So Shabani Ka matlab Hazrat Musa A.S. Ki Charwahe Wali Zindagi hai. Iqbal is saying, If some guide/teacher like Hazrat Shoaib (A.S.) meets than Kaleemi is at two steps. yani Insan Allah ka arif ban sakta aur braveness show kar sakta agar koi ustad mil jaye.

    It refers to the Prophets Musa and Shoaib alaih salaam. Shoaib was Musa's father in law. When Musa alaih salaam fled from the Firaun, He happened to come across Shoaib AS and spent many years with him. While with him, Musa AS became a shepherd, and much later he received the Wahi from Allah, and then went back to his hometown to confront Firaun. Since He could talk to Allah, he is also known as Kaleemullah. So Iqbal is saying that if a student were lucky enough to find a teacher like Shoaib alaih salaam, then even a shepherd (shabani) can be groomed into becoming the Kaleemullah (kaleemi).
