ALLAMA IQBAL

Mohammad Iqbal (1877–1938), revered as the poet-philosopher of the East, was born in Sialkot to a Kashmiri Brahmin family that had embraced Islam centuries earlier. Rooted in the classical traditions of Arabic, Persian, and Urdu, and shaped by a liberal Western education in Lahore, Cambridge, and Germany, Iqbal emerged as a unique voice that bridged civilisations. Equally at ease with Eastern metaphysics and Western thought, he gave to the world the profound philosophy of khudi—selfhood grounded in love, action, and divine purpose. Though celebrated in Pakistan as a visionary of its creation, he also penned the enduring Indian patriotic anthem "Sāre Jahān Se Achchā", reflecting a heart that beat for unity. His poetry—rich in symbol, myth, and metaphor—reimagines history, faith, and humanity in a timeless quest for harmony and wholeness.

Full Text of the Urdu Poem (Nazm) in Roman Transliteration (Courtesy: Rekhta):

ZUHD AUR RINDI

ik maulvī sāhab kī sunātā huuñ kahānī
tezī nahīñ manzūr tabī.at kī dikhānī

shohra thā bahut aap kī sūfī-manushī kā
karte the adab un kā a.aalī o adānī

kahte the ki pinhāñ hai tasavvuf meñ sharī.at
jis tarah ki alfāz meñ muzmar hoñ ma.ānī

labrez mai-e-zohd se thī dil kī surāhī
thī tah meñ kahīñ durd-e-ḳhayāl-e-hama-dānī

karte the bayāñ aap karāmāt kā apnī
manzūr thī tādād murīdoñ kī baḌhānī

muddat se rahā karte the ham-sā.e meñ mere
thī rind se zāhid kī mulāqāt purānī

hazrat ne mire ek shanāsā se ye pūchhā
'iqbāl' ki hai qumri-e-shamshād-e-ma.ānī

pābandi-e-ahkām-e-sharī.at meñ hai kaisā
go sher meñ hai rashk-e-kalīm-e-hamdānī

suntā huuñ ki kāfir nahīñ hindū ko samajhtā
hai aisā aqīda asar-e-falsafa-dānī

hai us kī tabī.at meñ tashayyo bhī zarā sā
tafzīl-e-alī ham ne sunī us kī zabānī

samjhā hai ki hai raag ibādāt meñ dāḳhil
maqsūd hai maz.hab kī magar ḳhaak uḌānī

kuchh aar use husn-farāmoshoñ se nahīñ hai
aadat ye hamāre shorā kī hai purānī

gaanā jo hai shab ko to sahar ko hai tilāvat
is ramz ke ab tak na khule ham pe ma.ānī

lekin ye sunā apne murīdoñ se hai maiñ ne
be-dāġh hai mānind-e-sahar us kī javānī

majmua-e-azdād hai 'iqbāl' nahīñ hai
dil daftar-e-hikmat hai tabī.at ḳhafaqānī

rindī se bhī āgāh sharī.at se bhī vāqif
pūchho jo tasavvuf kī to mansūr kā saanī

us shaḳhs kī ham par to haqīqat nahīñ khultī
hogā ye kisī aur hī islām kā baanī

al-qissa bahut tuul diyā vaaz ko apne
tā-der rahī aap kī ye naġhz-bayānī

is shahr meñ jo baat ho uḌ jaatī hai sab meñ
maiñ ne bhī sunī apne ahibbā kī zabānī

ik din jo sar-e-rāh mile hazrat-e-zāhid
phir chhiḌ ga.ī bātoñ meñ vahī baat purānī

farmāyā shikāyat vo mohabbat ke sabab thī
thā farz mirā raah sharī.at kī dikhānī

maiñ ne ye kahā koī gila mujh ko nahīñ hai
ye aap kā haq thā ze-rah-e-qurb-e-makānī

ḳham hai sar-e-taslīm mirā aap ke aage
piirī hai tavāzo ke sabab merī javānī

gar aap ko mālūm nahīñ merī haqīqat
paidā nahīñ kuchh is se qusūr-e-hamādānī

maiñ ḳhud bhī nahīñ apnī haqīqat kā shanāsā
gahrā hai mire bahr-e-ḳhayālāt kā paanī

mujh ko bhī tamannā hai ki 'iqbāl' ko dekhūñ
kī us kī judā.ī meñ bahut ashk-fishānī

'iqbāl' bhī 'iqbāl' se āgāh nahīñ hai
kuchh is meñ tamasḳhur nahīñ vallāh nahīñ hai
