[maihonhassan]

kahan se tu ne ai 'iqbaal' sikhi hai ye darweshi

ki charcha padshahon mein hai teri be-niyazi ka

O Iqbal! From where did you learn to be such a dervish:

Even among the kings there is talk about your contentment!

[maihonhassan]

ki haq se farishton ne 'iqbaal' ki ghammazi

To God the angels did complain ʹGainst Iqbal and did say

gustakh hai karta hai fitrat ki hina-bandi

That rude and insolent is he, Nature he paints much brightly

khaki hai magar is ke andaz hain aflaki

Though born of mud and water, yet a god assumes to be:

rumi hai na shami hai kashi na samarqandi

Not bound to any home or land, of earthly ties is free

sikhlai farishton ko aadam ki tarap us ne

To throngs of Heaven he has taught, like man, to fret and pine

aadam ko sikhata hai aadab-e-khudawandi

To clay‐made man he fain would teach the wont and mode divine

- Allama Iqbal

..’But only a brief moment is granted to the brave one breath or two; whose wage is the long nights of the grave." There is nothing that Iqbal has written which is more simple & yet most profound that prophetically describes Pakistan since it’s birth! Remembering the greatest poet of this era on his birthday..!’🌟 #142ndBirthday #PoetOfTheEast #iqbalday2019 #Saturday #NovemberDiaries! 🇵🇰 https://www.instagram.com/p/B4olXJCglaKmRt5q7_N7WdbHjwQQ1bArPHyiNQ0/?igshid=1wwc7nl2j2da1

‏...’کہاں سے تونے اے اقبال سیکھی ہے یہ درویشی، ‏کہ چرچہ بادشاہوں میں ہے تیری بے نیازی کا.. ‏یومِ اقبال ‏اقبال کا کلام آج بھی پہلے کی طرح تازہ اور ہماری توجہ کا متقاضی ہے...خود سے ملنا ہو تو اقبال پڑھیئے..’ #9thNov #IqbalDay #PoetOfTheEast #Friday #NovemberDiaries!
