TO A YOUNG MAN
Lahoo Mujh Ko Rulati Hai Jawanon Ki Tan Asani
Your sofas are from Europe, your carpets from Iran;
This slothful opulence evokes my sigh of pity.
Na Zor-e-Haidari Tujh Mein, Na Istaghna-e-Salmani
In vain if you possess Khusroe’s imperial pomp,
If you do not possess prowess or contentment.
Ke Paya Man Ne Istaghna Mein Meeraj-e-Musalmani
Seek not thy joy or greatness in the glitter of Western life,
For in contentment lies a Muslim’s joy and greatness.
Nazar Ati Hai Iss Ko Apni Manzil Asmanon Mein
When an eagle’s spirit awakens in youthful hearts,
It sees its luminous goal beyond the starry heavens.
Umeed-e-Mard-e-Momin Hai Khuda Ke Raazdanon Mein
Despair not, for despair is the decline of knowledge and gnosis:
The Hope of a Believer is among the confidants of God.
Tu Shaheen Hai, Basera Kar Paharon Ki Chatanon Mein
Thy abode is not on the dome of a royal palace;
You are an eagle and should live on the rocks of mountains.

ReplyDeletewe can't compare such genius poet with some one else coz he was gifted by Allah .....
ReplyDeleteWho am I to comment on Allama;making it so easily accessible to us is indeed commendable.
ReplyDeleteAllama Iqbal did not write so he may be praised, rather so the posterity may know their worth..especially us Muslims.
ReplyDeleteMay Allah awaken the true Muslim in all of us.
