Tamheed
The Prologue
(1)
Na Dair Mein Na Haram Mein Khudi Ki Baidari
Ke Khawaran Mein Hai Qoumon Ki Rooh Taryaki
In fane and shrine the self in slumber deep is sunk,
It seems that soul of East an opiate strong has drunk.
Agar Na Sehal Hon Tujh Par Zameen Ke Hangame
Buri Hai Masti-e-Andaisa Haye Aflaki
If freaks of Fate with smile on lips you can not face,
The secrets hid in firmament nʹre claim to trace.
Teri Nijat Gham-e-Marg Se Nahin Mumkin
Ke Tu Khudi Ko Samajhta Hai Paikar-e-Khaki
Your anguish sharp for Death you can not keep at bay,
Because you deem that self is merely made of clay.
Zamana Apne Hawadas Chupa Nahin Sakta
Tera Hijab Hai Qalb-o-Nazar Ki Na-Paki
Time can conceal mishaps at all from you,
Alas! your heart and soul are foul and are not true.
Atta Huwa Khs-o-Khashak-e-Asia Mujh Ko
Ke Mere Shaole Mein Hai Sarkashi-o-Bebaki!
The straws and thorns of East (Asia) to me have been assigned,
For flame that burns in me is rash and unconfined
(2)
Tera Gunah Hai Iqbal! Majlis Arayi
Agarche Tu Hai Misal-e-Zamana Kam Pewand
Iqbal, you sin because the throngs you tingle,
Though keep aloof and seldom with them mingle.
Though keep aloof and seldom with them mingle.
Jo Ko Kinar Ke Khugar The, In Ghareebon Ko
Teri Nawa Ne Dia Zauq-e-Jazba Haye Buland
Men wont to quaff extract from poppies drawn,
Have courage gained for deeds requiring brawn.
Have courage gained for deeds requiring brawn.
Tarap Rahe Hain Faza Haye Neelgoon Ke Liye
Woh Par Shakista Ke Sehan Sara Mein The Khorsand
The birds, who spite of pinions rent were glad,
In nests, for azure sky now feel so sad.
In nests, for azure sky now feel so sad.
Teri Saza Hai Nawa-e-Sehar Se Mehroomi
Maqam-e-Shauq-o-Suroor-o-Nazar Se Mehroomi
You ought to be deprived of songs of morn,
Deserve to miss delight and feel forlorn.
Deserve to miss delight and feel forlorn.
