Armaghan-e-Hijaz: 08 <br /><br />Awaz-e-Ghaib <br />A VOICE FROM BEYOND <br /><br />Ati Hai Dam-E-Subah Sadda Arsh-E-Bareen Se <br />Khoya Gya Kis Tarah Tera Johar-E-Idraak ! <br /><br />From the Emperium enquires a voice at dawn: how did <br />You lose your essential quality of enquiry and understanding? <br /><br />Kis Tarah Huwa Kund Tera Nashtar-E-Tehqeeq <br />Hote Nahin Kyun Tujh Se Sitaron Ke Jagar Chaak <br /><br /> How was blunted your scalpel of research? <br />Why do you not rend open the hearts of stars? <br /><br />Tu Zahir-O-Batin Ki Khilafat Ka Sazawaar <br />Kya Shaola Bhi Hota Hai Ghulam-E-Khs-O-Khashaak <br /><br />You deserve to dominate and rule over all that is visible as well as esoteric. <br />Can a flame be the slave of dry sticks and grass? <br /><br />Mehar-O-Mah-O-Anjum Nahin Mehkoom Tere Kyun <br />Kyun Teri Nigahon Se Larazte Nahin Aflaak <br /><br />Why are the sun, moon and stars not under your suzerainty? <br />Why don’t heavens shudder with a mere glance from you? <br /><br />Ab Tak Hai Rawan Gharcha Lahoo Teri Raagon Mein <br />Ne Garmi-E-Afkaar, Na Andaish-e-Bebaak <br /><br />True! Even to‐day blood courses through your veins, but <br />Your thoughts do not inspire nor is your thinking fearless. <br /><br />Roshan To Woh Hoti Hai, Jahan Been Nahin Hoti <br />Jis Ankh Ke Pardon Mein Nahin Hai Nigah-E-Pak <br /><br />An eye which in its vision does not imbibe pure virtue <br />Is capable of seeing, no doubt, but is not all‐seeing. <br /><br />Baqi Na Rahi Teri Woh Aaeena Zameeri <br />Ae Kushta-e-Sultani-O-Mullai-O-Peeri ! <br /><br />Not a bit remains in you of your clear reflection of conscience! <br />Alas! O you victim of imperialism, of mullah‐ism and mysticism! <br /><br /> Hashtags <br /><br />#allamaiqbal <br />#allamaiqbalpoetry <br />#urduadab <br />#iqbaliyat <br />#urdushayari <br />#urdupoetry
