Tulu-e-Islam (Dr.Allama Muhammad Iqbal)


Tulu-e-Islam (Stanza 5)(Bang-e-Dra-163)

THE RISE OF ISLAM
Poet: Dr.Allama Muhammad Iqbal
By : Common Bross Fsd

Ghulami Mein Na Kaam Ati Hain Shamsheerain Na Tadbeerain
 Jo Ho Zauq-E-Yaqeen Paida To Kat Jati Hain Zanjeerain

 In slavery, neither swords or plans are effective,
 But when the taste for certainty is created, then the chains are cut.

Koi Andaza Kar Sakta Hai Uss Ke Zor-E-Bazu Ka !
 Nigah-E-Mard-E-Momin Se Badal Jati Hain Taqdeerain

 Can anyone even guess at the strength of his arm?
 By the glance of the man who is a true believer even destiny is changed.

Walayat, Padshahi, Ilm-E-Ashiya Ki Jahangeeri
 Ye Sub Kya Hain, Faqat Ek Nukta-E-Aeeman Ki Tafseerain

 Empire, sainthood, the knowledge of things which holds the world in its sway—
 What are they all? Only commentaries on one small point of faith.

Baraheemi Nazar Paida Magar Mushkil Se Hoti Hai
 Hawas Chup Chup Ke Seenon Mein Bana Leti Hai Tasweerain

 But it is difficult to create the insight of Abraham (A.S.);
 Desire insidiously paints pictures in our breasts.

Tameez-E-Banda-O-Aaqa Fasad-E-Admiyat Hai
 Hazar Ae Cheerah Dastan! Sakht Hain Fitrat Ki Taazirain

 The distinction of servant and lord has put mankind into turmoil;
 Beware, oh powerful ones; the penalties of nature are harsh.

Haqiqat Aik Hai Har Shay Ki, Khaki Ho Ke Noori Ho
 Lahoo Khursheed Ka Tapake Agar Zarre Ka Dil Cheerain

 There is one reality for everything, be it of earth or fire;
 The blood of the sun will drip, of we split the heart of an atom.

Yaqeen Mohkam, Amal Peham, Mohabbat Faateh-E-Alam
 Jahad-E-Zindagani Mein Hain Ye Mardon Ki Shamsheerain

 Firm certainty, eternal action, the love that conquers the world—
 These are the swords of men in the holy war of life.

Cha Bayad Mard Ra Tabaa-E-Bulanday, Mashrab-E-Naabay
 Dil-E-Garmee, Nigah-E-Pak Beenay, Jaan-E-Betabay

 What else does man need but a lofty spirit and pure character,
 A warm heart, a puresighted eye and a restless soul?
