Allama Iqbal's Poetry

[Kas1m]

Iqbal is the second best poet in urdu. First is Mirza Ghalib.
Iqbals era was from 1900 to 1950. Most of his work is like goes on top of your head. But I bought a big book explaining his work and poetry. Ill share one or two. And if you have some please share.

[Hamza Momand]

kya aap ko on ka sher yaad hay mujhay to bhoola hoa hay

kuch estarha ka hay k

tuintizar na kar inqilab ka agar hosakay to abhi say inqilab paida kr

[Hamza Momand]

in iqbal poetry u will find
shaheen
inqilab (revolution)
muslim youth

he explained quran in his poetry

parindo ki dunya ka darwesh hon may
k shaheen banata nhi ashyana

another one

nhi tera nasheman qasray sultani ki gumbat pr
tu shaheen hay basera kr paharo ki chatano pr

and
tu shaheen hay parwaz hay kaam tera
teray samnay aasman or b hain

onho nay en ashaar may muslim youth ko shaheen keh kr mukhatib kia hay.

[Hamza Momand]

its a wonderful poem
zabardast

kabhi kabhi kuch cheezon ko samjh layta hon magar bayan nhi kr pata.

aap kuch explain krain

[Kas1m]

Actually this is a hard shair.
I cant even english translate lol but its good to read though

I think it refers to the mulla who leads the prayers in mosques. Who appoints them? are the mutawalllis qualified to choose an imaam. If he recites the Quran melodiously he is selected as an imam. He has spent a major part ofhis life within the four walls of a madrass whee he was brainwashed into believing what his teachers want him to believe. He has no knowledge of the world and its administration. What would be our fate if such mullas are placed as heads of governments?

No. Unfortunately i left the book of his poetry in pakistan.
I had a choice of two. Either bring faiz ahmed faiz s book or iqbals book. I chose faiz which i regret now.

[Kas1m]

Anyway todays shair is,



in english translation:

How can the water and flowers be in control?
how can the hearts be alive in the chests?

[Hamza Momand]

pehla misra samjh nhi pa rha hon

[Kas1m]

pehla misra samjh nhi pa rha hon

[ahaneefah]

یا رب دل مسلم کو وہ زندہ تمنا دے
جو قلب کو گرما دے جو روح کو تڑپا دے
پھر وادی فاران کے ہر ذرہ کو چمکا دے
پھر شوق تماشا دے پھر ذوق تقاضا دے
محروم تماشا کو پھر دیداہ بےنا ہے
دیکھا ہے جو کچھ میں نے اوروں کو بھی دکھلا دے
بھٹکے ہوئے آہو کو پھر سوئے حرم لے چل
اس شہر کے خوگر کو وسعت صحرا دے
پیدا دل ویران میں پھر شورش محشر کر
اس محمل خالی کو پھر شاہد لےلا دے
اس دور کی ظلمت میں ہر قلب پریشان کو
وہ داغ محبت دے جو چاند کو شرما دے
رفعت میں مقاصد کو ہم دوش ثریا کر
خودداری ساحل دے آزادی دریا دے
بے لوث محبت ہو بے باک صداقت ہو
سینے میں اُجالا کر دل صورت مےنا دے
احساس عنایت کر آثار مصیبت کا
امروز کی شورش میں اندیشہ فردا دے
میں بلبل نالاں ہوں اک اُجڑے گلستان کا
تاثیر کا سائل ہوں محتاج کو داتا دے

Translation

O Lord! To the Muslims heart grant that lively longing
Which may warm the heart, which may, restlessness to the soul, grant

Again brighten up every speck of dust of the Valley of Faran
Again Longing for the Spectacle, taste for the asking, grant

Again to the one deprived of the Spectacle, the discerning eye, grant
Whatever I have seen, to others also its sight, grant

Again guide, the strayed away deer away from Haram
To the one addicted to city, vastness of wilderness, grant

Again in the forlorn heart, create the Last Days tumult
Again to this empty camel-litter, the lover of Lailah, grant

In the darkness of this age to every perturbed heart
That mark of Love, which may embarrass the moon, grant

In elegance raise the Muslims goals to the level of Thurayyah
Self-respect of the ocean, freedom of the sea shore, grant

Love should be pure, candor fearless should be
Grant Light to hearts, hearts like crystal, grant

Grant the feeling for signs of The Calamity
In todays tumult, concern for tomorrow, grant

I am the wailing nightingale of a ruined rose garden
I am the supplicant for acceptance, O Benevolent one

[Kas1m]

Jazakallah for the contribution.

C h i l d's P r a y e r


My hopes and wishes come upon
My lips from inside my heart.
Oh Allah! My life should be
Like a lamp, never to go dark.

Let the darkness of the world
Disappear from my presence.
Let every place become bright
From my shining existence.

Just as the flower stands with others,
Improving the garden's beauty,
Let my life stand with knowledge
And dignify my community.

My life should be built around
Those who seek the light,
Just as the moth loves the glowing lamp
In the darkness of the night.

Oh Allah! Make me strive
Constantly to educate my mind,
With the light of knowledge
That you gave me the power to find.

I want to dedicate my life to those
Who are in need of special care.
The old, the young, the ill, the hungry,
I want to be fair.

Oh Allah! You gave us choices!
Protect us from sins,
Lead us to the path of righteousness,
Help us to do good things.

[Kas1m]

Nice one aswell. I love his poetry

[ahmed_abdullah]

Does anybody know the parsi poetry of Mirza ghalib (r) or Alama iqbal (R), i don't even remember ?

Like it has a line sufinashudi jalwae chasheynasi ?

I just want the poem of it , usually called as parsi poetry.

[Uthman Ibn Afan]

Cheen-o-Arab hamara, Hindustan hamara
Muslim main hum, watan hai sara jahan hamara
Tauheed ki amanat senon main hai hamarey
Asan nahin mitana naam-o-nishaan hamara
Duniya kay bu't kadon main, wo pehla ghar Khuda ka
Hum uss kay pasban hain, wo pasban hamara
Baatil say dabney waley, aey Asman! nahin hum
Sou baar ker chuka hai Tu imtihan hamara
Salar-e-Karwan hai Meer-e-Hijaaz (PBUH) apna
Iss naam say hai baaqi, aaram-e-jahan hamara
Iqbal ka tarana baang-e-dara hai goya
Hota hai jada paima, phir karwan hamara
