(Zarb-e-Kaleem-018) Ilm Aur Irfan

Ilm Aur Deen
Knowledge And Religion

Woh Ilm Apne Boton Ka Hai Aap Ibraheem
Kya Ha Jis Ko Khuda Ne Dil-o-Nazar Ka Nadeem

Learning whom God has made the mate of heart and sight,
Like Friend of God can break with ease all idols bright.

Zamana Aik, Hayat Aik, Kainat Bhi Aik
Daleel-e-Kam-Nazari, Qissa-e-Jadeed-o-Qadeem

Cosmos and life are one, the world is one and same
The tale of old and new is merely false and lame.

Zamana Aik, Hayat Aik, Kainat Bhi Aik
Daleel-e-Kam-Nazari, Qissa-e-Jadeed-o-Qadeem

A blossom can not thrive in meadow full of trees,
Unless some drops of dew ally with pleasant breeze.

Woh Ilm, Kam Basri Jis Mein Ham-Kinar Nahin
Tajaliat-e-Kaleem-o-Mushahidat-e-Hakeem!

That ken is vision dim, In which the wise manʹs lore
And sight that Moses viewed, Keep apart and merge no more.

  1. The verse where it mentions "tajalliyaat-e-Kaleem-o-mushaahidaat-e-Hakeem"

    Kaleem is a reference to Moses while Hakeem, even though it means "wise man" is a reference to Luqman. Please revise the translation.
