Meri Khamoshi Nahin Hai, Goya Mazar Hai Harf-e-Arzoo Ka
The world will know when the flood of conversation will emerge from my heart
This is not my silence, but is the shrine of the word of my Longing
Guhar Ye Bola Sadaf Nasheeni Hai Mujh Ko Saman Aabru Ka
As the ocean wave said, “My dignity is established by flowing”
The pearl said, “Sitting in shell is the safety of my brightness”
Huwa Na Sar Sabz Reh Ke Pani Mein Aks Saru-e-Kinar-e-Joo Ka
Whose temperament does not deserve are not improved by training
Reflection of the river bank’s cypress does not prosper by living in the water
Elahi Tera Jahan Kya Hai, Nigar Khana Hai Arzoo Ka
I did not see any heart in which Longing is not concealed
O God! What is Thy universe! It is a picture gallery of Longing
Jise Samajhte The Jism-e-Khaki, Gubar Tha Kooye Arzoo Ka
It dawned after death that our life was a spell of greed
What we called material body, was dust‐cloud of greed’s lane
Nigah Ko Nazzare Ki Tamanna Hai, Dil Ko Soda Hai Justujoo Ka
Why am I the embodiment of search if nothing is concealed?
The sight is Longing for the Spectacle, the heart is mad after the search
Teri Nigahon Mein Hai Tabassum Shakista Ho Na Mere Saboo Ka
The garden’s flower bud asked the gardener, “Why is Man so heartless?
The breaking of my wine glass is occasion for smile in your eyes
Haqiqat-e-Gul Ko Tu Jo Samajhe To Ye Bhi Pema Hai Rang-o-Bu Ka
The effulgence of Love emanates from every speck of the existence’ garden
If you know the reality of rose, it is also a combination of color and fragrance”
Hunar Koi Dekhta Hai Mujh Mein To Ayb Hai Mere Ayb Joo Ka
All my writings are anachronism, my poetry is completely defective
If somebody sees some skill in me it is the fault of my critic
Zara Sa Ek Dil Diya Hai, Woh Bhi Faraib Khurda Hai Arzoo Ka
Decorum requires silence, otherwise Thy Mercy is worse than tyranny
Thou hast given a tiny heart, which also is misled towards greed
Yaqeen Hai Mujh Ko Gire Rag-e-Gul Se Qatra Insan Ke Lahoo Ka
Unity’s perfection is so evident that if you cut with the knife ‘ s tip
Sure you would see human blood trickling out of the rose’ vein
Huwi Haqiqat Hi Jab Namayan To Kis Ko Yara Hai Guftugoo Ka
The age of taqlid has passed, allegorism should depart!
When the Truth itself is evident who is authorized to talk?
Misal-e-Gohar Watan Ki Furqat Kamal Hai Meri Abroo Ka
If I am far from home, my relatives should not be sad
Like pearl separation from home is perfecting my elegance
Jhalak Teri Haweda Chand Mein, Suraj Mein, Tare Mein
Thy splendor is manifest in thunder, in fire, in spark
Thy luster is evident in the moon, in the sun, in the star
Rawani Behr Mein, Uftadgi Teri Kinare Mein
Thy elegance exists in skies’ heights, and in earths’ depths
It is in the ocean’s flow, and in falling behind of the shore
Chupa Jata Hun Apne Dil Ka Matlab Istaare Mein
Why should Shari`ah be the accuser of the eloquence’ taste?
I only conceal the meaning of my heart in metaphors
Shajar Mein, Phool Mein, Haiwan Mein, Pathar Mein, Sitare Mein
The real life in Man is pervading in everything
It is in tree, in flower, in animal, in stone, in star
Ghazab Ki Aag Thi Pani Ke Chote Se Sharare Mein
The heat of the drop of Love’s tear has consumed me
Boundless fire existed in this little drop of water
Woh Soudagar Hun, Main Ne Nafa Dekha Hai Khasare Mein
There is no longing in me for reward of the Judgment Day
I am the merchant who sees profit in the loss
Tarap Kis Dil Ki Ya Rab Chup Ke Aa Baithi Hai Pare Mein
Being unaware of tranquility is existence for it
O God! Restlessness of which heart is residing in mercury
Taqazon Ki Kahan Taqat Hai Mujh Furqat Ke Mare Main
O Iqbal I am silent after hearing the call of “Lan Tarani”
Being afflicted with separation I have no strength for importunity

ReplyDeleteAllan's Iqbal Kay Kalam lagawab hay
ReplyDeletejust curious about the different spellings in urdu of "mera", "mere" and "meri", sometimes with the "ye", sometimes without it. for example, in the second line "mere" is spelled without a "ye", but in the third line it is spelled with a "ye". i found another urdu text of "bang-e-dara" online which has the same. does anyone know if these different spellings are intentional? if so, what might be the reason? thanks.

ReplyDeleteWoh Soudagar Hun, Main Ne Nafa Dekha Hai Khasare Mein
jab pata chala k jannat bhi mujh se kam tar k main asharful makhlookat hon. to mujhay pata chala mera maksad sirf tera qurb hai. or tumera mehbub hai na k jannat wa hurr. k mehboob k ishq mai kisi dosri chez ka tasurf bhi kufrt wa guna hai...
nafa dekha hai khasaray mai. agar mujhay tera deedar mil jay to yehi mera nafa hai chahay jannat na milay. k jannat or hurr sirf unko mubarak hon jo inki lalach mai ibadat krtay hian..or apni haqeeqat se na ashnaa apnay se bhi kam tarr ki khatir zaleel hotay hain.
Iqbal waqe main Iqbal tha
