[Qurratulain]

Youth’s thinking is either open or privy.
Is not hidden from a Sufi’s eye.

I’m aware of, how your present is
For I crossed this road years ago

Wise don’t baffle the words’ perplexity
Do divers target shell rather than pearl?

Wisdom that aspirants bear
Turns the baby flame into flare.

The truth that the heart approves
Values more than the pearl

Philosophy is dying…..! Or dead!
Essence of which, is not the sweat blood

Well Iqbal is always the best ... in means of poetry .... And also giving ideas to people of Pakistan as well as world... So this is nice share here by YOU ....

[Qurratulain]

@A J E E

Rightly said that Iqbal was best with reference to poetry, m' a big fane of iqbal's poetic work. As far as Iqbal's other ideas are concerned, they are more controversial. i tried to defend iqbalian philosophy in different times and on different boards but couldn't resolve the conflict, and laterly i myself found a bit ambiguity in iqbalian philosophy. Anyways thns for your say.



Regards,

m' posting one of Iqbal's urdu work here, though it should have been posted in Urdu corner, but i thought it better to keep it incontinuity of Iqbal here.


[center]ILM AUR ISHQ[/center]

ilm ne muj se kaha ishq hai dewana pan
ishq ne muj se kaha ilm hai takhmeen-o-zan
aye banda-e-takhmeen-o-zan tu karm-e-kitabi na ban

ishq hai sarapa-e-hazoor ilm hai sarapa-e-hijab

garmi-e-ishq se hai moarka-e-kainaat
ilm muqam-e-sifaat ishq tamasha-e-zaat
ishq sakoon-o-sabat ishq hayat-o-mamat

ishq hai oinha sawal ilm paida jawab

hain ishq k maujzaat saltanat-e-faqr-o-deen
hain ishq k adna ghulam sahib-e-taj-o-nageen
ishq zaman-o-zameen ishq makan-o-makeen

ishq sarapa-e-yaqeen aur yaqeen-e-fath-e-bab

shar-e-muhabbat mein hain ishrat-e-manzil haram
shoorash-e-toofan halal lazat-e-sahil haram
ishq pe bijli halal ishq pe hasil haram

ilm hai ibn-al-kitab aur ishq um-al-kitab
