Islam In India
Hai Zinda Faqt Wahdat-e-Afkar Se Millat
Wahdat Ho Fana Jis Se Woh Ilhaam Bhi Ilhaad
Only identity of thought keeps the Faith thriving—
Doctrine by whose means schism is brought is impious striving;
Wahdat Ki Hifazat Nahin Be-Quwwat-e-Bazoo
Aati Nahin Kuch Kaam Yahan Aqal-e-Khudadad
And only the strong hand is fit to guard the creed:
Let no‐one trust man’s native wit to serve such need.
Ae Mard-e-Khuda! Yujh Ko Woh Quwwat Nahin Hasil
Ja Baith Kisi Ghaar Mein Allah Ko Kar Yaad
But that strength, preacher, we shall not find in your hand muster;
Go, and recite in some cool grot your paternoster—
Miskeeni-o-Mehkoomi-o-Naumeedi-E-Javed
Jis Ka Ye Tasawwuf Ho Woh Islam Kar Ijad
And there concoct some new Islam, Whose mystic kernel shall be
a tame submissive calm, despair eternal!
Mullah Ko Jo Hai Hind Mein Sajde Ki Ijazat
Nadan Ye Samajhta Hai Ke Islam Hai Azad!
In India, if bare leave be deigned his prayer‐prostration,
Our dull priest thinks Islam has gained emancipation.

DeleteCorret the word "Tujh ko wo quwwat"
ReplyDeleteI was reading news of Muslim being lynched in India due to transport of cow and saw this poem... I couldn't realize more what triggered Iqbal for such poems and initiated the thought stream... seems India is proving it by herself.... he was great poet with passion...btw i also heard Qaid speech on separation and he said same in nasr...
