================= Baang-e-Dara: 94 Sitara The Star Qamar Ka Khof Ke Hai Khatra-e-Sehar Tujh Ko Maal-e-Husn Ki Kya Mil Gyi Khabar Tujh Ko? Are you afraid of the moon or the dawn? Are you conscious of the end of beauty? Mataa-e-Noor Ke Lut Jane Ka Hai Dar Tujh Ko Hai Kya Haras-e-Fana Soorat-e-Sharar Tujh Ko? Are you afraid of being robbed of light’s wealth? Are you afraid of annihilation like the spark? Zameen Se Door Diya Aasman Ne Ghar Tujh Ko Misal-e-Mah Urhayi Qabaye Zar Tujh Ko The sky has settled you far from the earth It has wrapped you in gold’s mantle like the moon Ghazab Hai Phir Teri Nanhi Si Jaan Derti Hai! Tamam Raat Teri Kanpte Guzerti Hai It is outrageous that your feeble life is still in fear Your whole night passes in trembling with fear Chamakne Wale Musafir! Ajab Ye Basti Hai Jo Auj Aik Ka Hai, Dusre Ki Pasti Hai O shining traveler! This habitation is strange The rise of one leads to the fall of the other Ajal Hai Lakhon Sitaron Ki Ek Waladat-e-Mehr Fana Ki Neend Mai-e-Zindagi Ki Masti Hai The birth of one sun is the death of a myriad stars Annihilation’s sleep is the ecstasy of life’s wine Widaa-e-Ghuncha Mein Hai Raaz-e-Afrainash-e-Gul Adam, Adam Hai Ke Aaeena Daar-e-Hasti Hai! Flower bud’s departure is the secret of flower’s birth Is annihilation life’s end, or is the equivalent of life! Sukoon Muhal Hai Qudrat Ke Kaarkhane Mein Sabat Aik Taghaiy'yur Ko Hai Zamane Mein Quiescence is difficult in the universe Only change is permanent in the universe 🔶 Hashtags #allamaiqbal #allamaiqbalpoetry #urduadab #iqbaliyat #urdushayari #urdupoetry #urdustatus

Clear Ye Riffat-e-Asman-e-Khamosh Khawabidah Zameen, Jahan-e-Khamosh Majesty of those silent skies, Drowsed earth, deep silence of the worlds, Ye Chand, Ye Dasht-o-Dar, Ye Kuhsar Fitrat Hai Tamam Nasteran Zaar That moon, that wilderness and hill— White rose-beds all creation fill. Moti Khush Rang, Pyare Pyare Yani Tere Aansuon Ke Tare Sweet are the teardrops that have pearled Like gleaming gems, like stars, your eyes; Kis Shay Ki Tujhe Hawas Hai Ae Dil! Qudrat Teri Hum-Nafas Hai Ae Dil! But what thing do you crave? All Nature, Oh my heart, is your fellow‐creature. 🔶 Hashtags #allamaiqbal #allamaiqbalpoetry #urduadab #iqbaliyat #urdushayari #urdupoetry #urdustatus

================= Baang-e-Dara: 81 Aik Shaam (Darye Naikar, Haidal Barg, Ke Kinare Par) One Evening (By The Neckar At Heidelberg) Khamosh Hai Chandani Qamar Ki Shakhain Hain Khamosh Har Shajar Ki Silent is the moonlight pale, The boughs of all the trees are still, Wadi Ke Nawa Farosh Khamosh Kuhsar Ke Sabz Posh Khamosh The music-maker of the vale; hushed and the green robes of the hill; hushed Fitrat Be-Hosh Ho Gyi Hai Aaghosh Mein Shab Ke So Gyi Hai Fallen into a swoon creation Sleeps in the bosom of the night, Kuch Aesa Sukoot Ka Fasoon Hai Naikar Ka Kharaam Bhi Sukoon Hai And from this hush such magic grows, No more now Neckar’s current flows; Taron Ka Khamosh Karwan Hai Ye Qafla Be-Dra Rawan Hai Silent the starry caravan moves Onward, no bell tinkling its flight, Khamosh Hain Koh-o-Dasht-o-Darya Qudrat Hai Muraqbe Mein Goya Silent the hills and streams and groves, All Nature lost in contemplation. Ae Dil! Tu Bhi Khamosh Ho Ja Aaghosh Mein Gham Ko Le Ke So Ja Oh heart, you too be silent: keep Your grief hugged close, and sleep. 🔶 Hashtags #allamaiqbal #allamaiqbalpoetry #urduadab #iqbaliyat #urdushayari #urdupoetry #urdustatus

Baang-e-Dara: 71 Kali The Bud Jab Dikhati Hai Sehar Ariz-e-Rangeen Apna Khol Deti Hai Kali Seena-e-Zarren Apna When the bud shows itself in the morning’s fresh beauty It reveals at that moment its bosom of gold: Jalwa Ashaam Haiye Subah Ke Mai Khane Mein Zindagi Iss Ki Hai Khursheed Ke Pemane Mein It quaffs sparkling wine from the tavern of dawning And draws from sun’s goblet the life it can hold. Samne Mehr Ke Dil Cheer Ke Rakh Deti Hai Kis Qadar Seena Shagafi Ke Maze Leti Hai It rends the sun’s heart, its own head extending: And oh: what delight it has of that rending. Mere Khusheed! Kabhi Tu Bhi Utha Apni Naqab Beher-e-Nazara Tarapti Hai Nigah-e-Betaab At times, o sun of mine, you too raise your veil: As the glamour of my gaze spins all restless apace. Tere Jalwe Ka Nasheman Ho Mere Seene Mein Aks Abad Ho Tera Mere Aaeene Mein Let the heat of thy radiance in me find abode And that vision’s reflection fill all mirror’s space. Zindagi Ho Tera Nazara Mere Dil Ke Liye Roshni Ho Teri Gehwara Mere Dil Ke Liye Let your gleaming become at the life of my heart And my soul in your light as in cradle‐bed swing. Zarra Zarra Ho Mera Phir Tarb Andoz-e-Hayat Ho Ayan Johar-e-Andesha Mein Phir Souz-e-Hayat And little by little bring again flowing joy In my grief shining clear as the jewel in a ring. Apne Khursheed Ka Nazara Karun Door Se Mein Sifat-e-Guncha Hum Agosh Rahun Noor Se Mein The vision of you let me put far away And just like a bud live in your lap of light. Jaan-e-Muztar Ki Haqiqat Ko Namayan Kar Doon Dil Ke Poshida Khiyalon Ko Bhi Uryan Kar Doon Let me bare to its nakedness my hidden thought; Make plain all the truth of being’s sad plight. 🔶 Hashtags #allamaiqbal #allamaiqbalpoetry #urduadab #iqbaliyat #urdushayari #urdupoetry

================= Baang-e-Dara: 79 Insan The Call Of The Marching Bell: 79 Man Qudrat Ka Ajeeb Ye Sitam Hai! Nature has played a strange and wanton joke— Insan Ko Raaz Jo Banaya Raaz Uss Ki Nigah Se Chupaya Making man a seeker of secrets, But hiding the secrets from his view! Be-Taab Hai Zauq Aaghi Ka Khulta Nahin Bhaid Zindagi Ka The urge for knowledge gives him no rest, But the secret of life remains undiscovered. Hairat Aaghaz-o-Intiha Hai Aaeene Ke Ghar Mein Aur Kya Hai Wonder is at the beginning and the end— What else is there in this house of mirrors? Hai Garm-e-Kharaam Mouj-e-Darya Darya Sooye Behr Jadah Pema The wave of the river glides along, The river follows its course to the ocean, Badal Ko Hawa Urha Rahi Hai Shanon Pe Uthaye La Rahi Hai The wind sweeps the clouds along, Bearing them on its shoulders, Taare Mast-e-Sharab-e-Taqdeer Zindan-e-Falak Mein Pa Ba Zanjeer The stars are drunk with the wine of fate, And lie chained in the sky’s prison; Khursheed, Woh Abid-e-Sehar Khaiz Lane Wala Pyam-e-‘Barkhaiz’ The sun, a worshipper who gets up at dawn, And calls out the message ‘Arise!’, Magrib Ki Pahariyon Mein Chup Kar Peeta Hai Mai-e-Shafaq Ka Saghar Is hiding in the western hills, Drinking a cup of reddish wine. Lazzat Geer-e-Wujood Harshay Sarmast-e-Mai-e-Namood Har Shay All things delight in their very existence, They are drunk with the wine of being. Koi Nahin Gham Gusaar-e-Insaar Kya Talkh Hai Rozgar-e-Insan! But there is no one to drive away his sorrow— How bitter are the days of man! 🔶 Hashtags #allamaiqbal #allamaiqbalpoetry #urduadab #iqbaliyat #urdushayari #urdupoetry #urdustatus

Baang-e-Dara: 36 Chaand The Moon Mere Weerane Se Kouson Door Hai Tera Watan Hai Magar Darya’ay Dil Teri Kashish Se Moujzan My desert from your native land how many a league divides! Yet by your power the waters of my heart feels these rough tides. Qasad Kis Mehfil Ka Hai Hai? Ata Hai Kis Mehfil Se Tu Zard Ru Shayad Huwa Ranj-e-Reh-e-Manzil Se Tu To what far gathering are you bound, what far gathering come? Your face is blanched, as if from journeyings long and wearisome. Afreenish Mein Sarapa Noor Tu, Zulmat Hun Main Iss Seh Rozi Pe Lekin Tera Hum Qismat Hun Main You in this universe all light, and I all darkness, share One destiny together in our valley of despair; Ah, Main Jalta Hun Souz-e-Ishtiaq-e-Deed Se Tu Sarapa Souz Dagh-e-Minnat-e-Khursheed Se I burn in a flame of longing, ah! burn for the gift of sight, And you, all seared with fires of longing, bed the sun for light; Aik Halqe Par Agar Qaeem Teri Rafter Hai Meri Gardish Bhi Misal-e-Gardish-e-Parkaar Hai And if your footsteps cannot stray from one fixed circle’s bound, I too move in one circle as a compass‐hand moves round. Zindagi Ki Rah Mein Sargardan Hai Tu, Heeran Hun Main Tu Farozan Mehfil-e-Hasti Mein Hai, Souzan Hun Main You roam forlorn life’s path to whose dull griefs I too am doomed, You shining through creation’s throng, I in my flame consumed; Main Rah-e-Manzil Mein Hun, Tu Bhi Rah-e-Manzil Mein Hai Teri Mehfil Mein Jo Khamoshi Hai, Mere Dil Mein Hai A long road lies before me and a long road waits for you; The silence of your thronging skies is here in my heart too. Tu Talab Khu Hai To Mera Bhi Yehi Dastoor Hai Chandani Hai Noor Tera, Ishq Mera Noor Hai My nature is like yours, you who were born to seek, to rove, Though yours are silver rays—the light that guides my feet is love. Anjuman Hai Aik Meri Bhi Jahan Rehta Hun Main Bazm Mein Apni Agar Yakta Hai Tu, Tanha Hun Main I too dwell among many: if you go companion-less Amid the company of heaven, I know your loneliness; Mehr Ka Partou Tere Haq Mein Hai Pegham-e-Ajal Mehv Kar Deta Hai Mujh Ko Jalwa-e-Husn-e-Azal And when for you the blaze of dawn proclaims extinction, I Drown with you in the crystal glory of eternity. Phir Bhi Ae Mah-e-Mubeen! Main Aur Hun Tu Aur Hai Dard Jis Pehlu Mein Uthta Ho, Woh Pehlu Aur Hai And yet, yet, radiant moon! we are not of one race; it is No heart like your heart that can feel and tell its miseries. Garcha Main Zulmat Sarapa Hun, Sarapa Noor Tu Saikron Manzil Hai Zauq-e-Aghi Se Door Tu Though you are of light, and I of darkness made, you are Still far from thirst of consciousness, a thousand journeys far; Jo Meri Hasti Ka Maqsad Hai, Mujhe Maloom Hai Ye Chamak Woh Hai,Jabeen Jis Se Teri Mehroom Hai Before my soul the path lies clear in view that it must trace— No gleam of knowledge such as mine will ever light your face. 🔶 Hashtags #allamaiqbal #allamaiqbalpoetry #urduadab #iqbaliyat #urdushayari #urdupoetry

Na Khoda Kabhi Weera-e-Dil You would have got the Beauty’s bountiful treasure O Farhad! You never dug into the ruins of the Heart Arsh Ka Hai Kabhi Kaabe Ka Hai Dhoka Iss Par Kis Ki Manzil Hai Elahi! Mera Kashana-e-Dil Now it looks like the ‘Arsh‘, now like the Ka’bah O God! Whose lodging is the abode of my Heart Iss Ka Apna Hai Junoon Aur Mujhe Souda Apna Dil Kisi Aur Ka Diwana, Mein Diwana-e-Dil It has its own junun and I have my own sawda (passion) The Heart loves someone else and I love the Heart Tu Samajta Nahin Ae Zahid-e-Nadan Iss Ko Rashk-e-Sad Sajda Hai Ek Laghzish-e-Mastana-e-Dil You do not comprehend this, O simple hearted ascetic! Envy of a thousand prostrations is one slip of the Heart Khak Ke Dhair Ko Ikseer Bana Deti Hai Woh Asar Rakhti Hai Khakstar-e-Parwana-e-Dil It changes the heap of earth into elixir Such is the power of the ashes of the Heart Ishq Ke Daam Mein Phans Kar Ye Riha Hota Hai Barq Girti Hai To Ye Nakhl Hara Hota Hai It gains freedom after being caught in the net of Love On being thunder‐struck greens up the tree of the Heart. 🔶 Hashtags #allamaiqbal #allamaiqbalpoetry #urduadab #iqbaliyat #urdushayari #urdupoetry #urdustatus

Baang-e-Dara: 14 Shama-o-Parwana Moth And Candle Parwana Tujh Se Karta Hai Ae Shama! Pyar Kyun Ye Jaan-e-Be-Qarar Hai Tujh Par Nisar Kyun Why is the moth your lover, O flame, Giving life in a yielding move? Seemabwaar Rakhti Hai Teri Ada Isse Adab-e-Ishq Tu Ne Sikhaye Hain Kya Isse? You make its ways the quicksilver’s ways. You taught it, what rites of love? Karta Hai Ye Tawaf-e-Teri Jalwagah Ka Phoonka Huwa Hai Kya Teri Barq-e-Nigah Ka? The creature circles around your flare. How burnt in your flash of sight! Azaar-e-Mout Mein Isse Aram-e-Jaan Hai Kya? Shaole Mein Tere Zindagi-e-Javidan Hai Kya? Does it know life’s peace in the throes of death? Life endures in your ardour bright? Ghumkhana-e-Jahan Mein Jo Teri Zia Na Ho Iss Tafta Dil Ka Nakhle-e-Tamana Hara Na Ho Had your lustre not been in the world’s house of woe The tree of hot love had not been green. Girna Tere Huzoor Mein Iss Ki Namaz Hai Nanhe Se Dil Mein Lazzat-e-Souz-o-Gudaz Hai Moth sinks before you making its prayer, Frail heart to feel scorching keen. Kuch Iss Mein Josh-e-Ashiq-e-Husn-e-Qadeem Hai Chota Sa Toor Tu, Ye Zara Sa Kaleem Hai It must throb like one loving the beauty of old: Small prophet! small mountain of fire! Parwana, Aur Zauq-e-Tamashaye Roshni Keera Zara Sa, Aur Tamanaye Roshni! The moth with its urge to envisage the flame! Poor worm, with its light’s desire! 🔶 Hashtags #allamaiqbal #allamaiqbalpoetry #urduadab #iqbaliyat #urdushayari #urdupoetry
