Armaghan-e-Hijaz: 24 <br /><br />Aaj Woh Kashmir Hai Mehkoom-O-Majboor-O-Faqeer <br />Kal Jise Ahl-E-Nazar Kehte Thay Iran-E-Sagheer <br /><br />Today that land of Kashmir, under the heels of the enemy, has become weak, helpless and poor <br />Once known among the wise as Little Iran. <br /><br />Sina’ay Aflaak Se Uthti Hai Aah-E-Soz Naak <br />Mard-E-Haq Hota Hai Jab Maroob-E-Sultan-O-Ameer <br /><br />A cry of burning lament issues forth from the heavens, <br />when the man of truth is overawed by the power and pomp of king and landlord. <br /><br />Keh Raha Hai Dastan Baydari-E-Ayam Ki <br />Koh Ke Daaman Mein Woh Gham Khana’ay Dehqaan-E-Peer <br /><br />The old farmer’s cottage, on the mountainside, where pain and grief ever rule— <br />tells its sad story of Fate’s hard lot. <br /><br />Aah! Ye Qoum-E-Najeeb-O-Charab Dast-O-Tar Damagh <br />Hai Kahan Roz-E-Makafaat Ae Khuda’ay Deer Geer? <br /><br />So skilful of hands, so rich in mind, these people, alas, or pure breed, <br />O God, your justice, so long delayed, must come at last as a retribution. <br /><br /> Hashtags <br /><br />#allamaiqbal <br />#allamaiqbalpoetry <br />#urduadab <br />#iqbaliyat <br />#urdushayari <br />#urdupoetry
