Poet of the Month for Allama Iqbal Day

Poet of the Month for Allama Iqbal Day
Hakeem-ul-Ummat, Muffakkir-e-Pakistan, Shaair-e-Mashriq, Dr. Sir Allama Muhammad Iqbal - a person considered to be the GREATEST and the BIGGEST poet of 20th century by a majority of Critics needs no introduction on his name for he is commonly well known to everyone who is related to Pakistan in someway or other and to muslims especially Arabs who have read his translated work...

The following information about him is taken from Wikipedia and is accurate as per my own knowledge about him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sir Muhammad Iqbal (Urdu: محمد اقبال) born (November 9, 1877 – April 21, 1938) was a Muslim poet, philosopher and politician born in Sialkot, British India (now in Pakistan), whose poetry in Urdu and Persian is among the greatest of the modern era, and whose vision of an independent state for the Muslims of British India was to inspire the creation of Pakistan. He is commonly referred to as Allama Iqbal (علامہ اقبال‎, Allama lit. Scholar.)

After studying in England and Germany, Iqbal established a law practice, but concentrated primarily on writing scholarly works on politics, economics, history, philosophy and religion. He is best known for his poetic works, including Asrar-e-Khudi—which brought a knighthood— Rumuz-e-Bekhudi, and the Bang-e-Dara, with its enduring patriotic song Tarana-e-Hind. In Afghanistan and Iran, where he is known as Iqbāl-e Lāhorī (اقبال لاهوری‎ Iqbal of Lahore), he is highly regarded for his Persian works.

Iqbal was a strong proponent of the political and spiritual revival of Islamic civilisation across the world, but specifically in India; a series of famous lectures he delivered to this effect were published as The Reconstruction of Religious Thought in Islam. One of the most prominent leaders of the All India Muslim League, Iqbal encouraged the creation of a "state in northwestern India for Indian Muslims" in his 1930 presidential address. Iqbal encouraged and worked closely with Muhammad Ali Jinnah, and he is known as Muffakir-e-Pakistan ("The Thinker of Pakistan"), Shair-e-Mashriq ("The Poet of the East"), and Hakeem-ul-Ummat ("The Sage of Ummah"). He is officially recognised as the "national poet" in Pakistan. The anniversary of his birth (یوم ولادت محمد اقبال‎ - Yōm-e Welādat-e Muhammad Iqbāl) on November 9 is a holiday in Pakistan.

Iqbal Died on April 21st, 1938 in Lahore.

DR.Allama Iqbal Poetry
Tanhaaiee

Tanhaaiee-e-Shabb maiN HazeeN kiyaa?
Anjum nahiN teray hum nasheeN kiyaa?

Ye Rif'at-e-Aasmaan-e-Khaamosh
Khuaabeeda zameeN jaahaan-e-Khaamosh

Ye chaand, ye dasht-O-dar, ye Kohsaar
Fitrat hay tamaam nastar'n-e-zaar

Motee khush rung piyaaray piyaaray
Ya'ni teray aaNsoo'ouN kay taaray

Kiss shay kee tujhay hawiis hay aey Dil!
Qudrat teri hum nafs hay aey Dil!

--Allama Iqbal- Baang-e-Dara
Chaand by ALLAMA IQBAL from Baang-e-Dara:

meray weeraanay say kossoon dooo hay tera watan
Hay magar darya-e-dil teri kashish say Moujzan

Qasad kiss mehfil ka hay? Aata hay kiss mehfil say tu?
zard ro shaayad huvaa ranj-e-rah-e-manzil say tu?

Aafreenush main saraapaa noor tu, zulmat hoon main
Iss seeh rozi pay laikin tera humm qismat hoon main

Aah! main jaltaa hoon soz-e-Ishtiaaq-e-deed say
Tu saraapaa soz-e-daagh minnat-e-khursheed say

Aik halqay par agar qaaim teri raftaar hay
Meri gardish bhii misaal-e-gardish-e-parkaar hay

Zindagi kee tah main sargirdaan hay tu, Hairaan hoon main
Tu farozaan mehfil-e-hasti main hay, sozaan hoon main

Main rah-e-manzil main hoon, tu bhii rah-e-manzil main hay
Teri mehfil main jo khamoshi hay, meray dil main hay

Tu talab khu hay tau mera bhii yehi dastoor hay
Chaandni hay noor tera, Ishq mera noor hay

Anjuman hay ik meri bhii jahaan rehtaa hoon main
Baz'm main apni agar yaktaa hay tu, tanhaa hoon main

Mehr ka partau teray haq main hay peghaam-e-ajal
Mehv kar deta hay mujh ko Jalwah-e-Husn-e-azal

phir bhii aey Maah-e-Mubeen! Main aur hoon tu aur hay
Dard jiss pehloo say Utthta ho woh pehloo aur hay

Garchay main zulmat saraapaa hoon, saraapaa noor tu
Senkrroon manzil hay zoq-e-aagahi say dooor tu

Jo meri hasti ka maqsad hay mujhay maaloom hay
Yeh chamak woh hay, Jabeen jiss say teri mehroom hay

From Baal-e-Jibreel...

Kiyaa Ishq aik zindagi-e-Musta'ar kaa!
Kiyaa Ishq paaeydaar say naa paaeydaar kaa!

Woh ishq, jiss kee sham'a bujhaa day ajal kee phoonk
Uss maiN mazaa nahiN tapish-O-intezaar kaa

Meri bisaat kiya hay? tub-O-taab-e-yak naf's
Sho'la say bay meh'l hay Ulajhna sharaar kaa

Kar pehlay mujh ko zindagi-e-JawedaaN Ataa!
Phir zoq-O-shoq dekh dil-e-bay qaraar kaa!

KaaNTa woh day kay jiss kee khaTTak laa zawaal ho
Yaa rabb woh dard jiss kee kassak laa zawaal ho
This one is particularly one of my favorites too... The real and true definition of what Life actually is according to the CREATOR of life is beautifully depicted by The Poet of the east Sir. Muhammad Allama Iqbal in His book Baal-e-Jibreel

Zindagi


Bar tar az andesha-e-sood-O-ziyaan hay Zindagi
Hay kabhi Jaan aur kabhi tasleem-e-jaan hay Zindagi

Tu issay Paimaana-e-Imroz-O-fardaa say naa naap
Javedaan, Pehamm dawaan, Har damm jawaan hay Zindagi

Apni dunyaa aap peda kar agar zindoun main hay
Siir-e-Adam hay, zameer-e-kun fikaan hay Zindagi

Zindagaani ki haqeeqat Koh-kunn kay dil say pooch
Joo-e-sher-O-teesha-O-sang-e-giraan hay Zindagi

Bandagi main ghatt kay reh jaati hay ik joo-e-kamm aab
aur aazaadi main behr-e-bay karaan hay Zindagi

Aashkaaraa hay yeh apni quwwat-e-taskheer say
garchay ik mitti kay paikar main nihaan hay Zindagi

Qulzum-e-Hasti say Ubhraa hay tu maanind-e-Hubaab
Iss ziyaan khaanay main teraa imtehaan hay Zindagi
[< this is my one of the favorites after second shair]


Khaam hay jubb tukk tu hay mitti kaa aik an(m)baar tu
Pukhtaa ho jaaey tau hay shamsheer-e-bay zanhaar tu

Ho sadaqat kay liyeh jiss dill main marnay ki tarrap
Pehlay apnay paikar-e-khaaki main jaan paidaa karay

Phoonk daalay yeh zameen-O-aasmaan paida karay
Aur khaakistar say aap apna jahaan paida karay

Zindagi ki quwwat-e-pinhaan ko kar day aashkaar
Taa yeh chingaari farogh-e-javedaan paida karay

Khaak-e-mashriq par chamak jaaey misaal-e-aaftaab
Taa bidakhshaan phir wohi La'al-e-giraan paida karay

Soe-e-girdoon naala-e-shabgeer kaa bhaijay safeer
Raat kay taaroun main apnay raazdaan paida karay

Yeh Gharri Mehshar kee hay tu arsa-e-mehshar main hay
Paish kar ghaafil, Amal koie agar daftar main hay
(MaaN kaa Khuaab)
MaiN soee jo ik shab tau dekha yeh khuaab
BaRRha aur jiss say meraa izteraab

Yeh dekha kay maiN jaa rahi hooN kahiN
Andhera hay aur rah milti nahiN

Laraztaa thaa dar say mera baal baal
Qadam ka thaa dehshat say uTThna muhaal

Jo kuch hosla paa kay aagay baRRhi
Tau dekha qataar ik laRRkouN ki thee

Zamarrud sii poshaak pehnay huay
Diye sub kay haathouN maiN jaltay huay

Woh chup chaap thay aagay peechay rawaaN
Khudaa jaanay jaanaa thaa unn ko kahaaN

Issi soch maiN thee kay mera pis'r
Mujhay iss jama'at maiN aaya nazar

Woh peechay thaa aur taiz chaltaa naa thaa
Diya uss kay haathouN maiN jaltaa naa thaa

Kahaa maiN nay pehchaan kar meri jaaN
Mujhay choRR kar aa gaye tum kahaaN?

Judaaie maiN rehti hooN maiN bay qaraar
Pirotii hooN roz ashkouN kay haar

Na parwaa hamaari zara tum nay kee
gaye choRR, acchi wafa tum nay kee

Jo bacchay nay dekha mera pech-O-taab
Diya uss nay moonh pher kar youN jawaab

Rulaati hay tujh ko judaaie meri
NahiN iss maiN kuch bhee bhalaaie meri

Yeh keh kar woh kuch dair tukk chup rahaa
Diyaa phir dikhaa kar yeh kehnay laggaa

Samajhti hay tu ho gayaa kiyaa issay?
Teray Aansoo'ouN nay bujhaayaa issay

Haqeeqat-e-Hus'n
Khudaa say hus'n nay ik roz yeh sawaal kiyaa
JahaaN maiN kiouN na mujhay tu nay laazawaal kiyaa?

Millaa jawaab kay tasveer khaanaa hay duniyaa
Shabb-e-daraaz ad'm kaa fassaanaa hay duniyaa

Huee hay rang-e-taghaiuur say jub namood iss kee
Wohi haseeN hay haqeeqat zawaal hay jiss kee

KahiN qareeb thaa, ye guftugu qamar nay sunee
Falak pay aamm huee, Akhtar-e-seh'r nay sunee

Seh'r nay taaray say sunn kar sunaaie shabnam ko
Falak kee baat bataa dee zameeN kay mehramm ko

Bhar aaye phool kay aansoo piyaam-e-shabnam say
kali ka nanhaa saa dil khoon ho gayaa ghamm say

Chaman say rotaa huaa Mosam-e-Bahaar gayaa
Shabaab sair ko aayaa thaa, sogwaar gayaa

--Dr. Sir Muhammad Allama Iqbal

Na Tu Zameen kay liyeh hay, na aasmaan kay liyeh



Na Tu Zameen kay liyeh hay, na aasmaan kay liyeh

Woh khaar-O-khass kay liyeh hay, yeh neestaan kay liyeh!

Tera safeena kay hay Behr-e-Bay karaan kay liyeh

Nishaan-e-Rah dikhaatay thay jo sitaaroun ko
Tarass gaye hain kissi mard-e-Rah daan kay liyeh!

Nigah-e-Buland, Sukhan dil nawaaz, Jaan pur soz!
Yehi hay rakht-e-safar meer-e-kaarwaan kay liyeh

Zara si baat thee, andesha-e-Ajam nay ussay
Barrha diyaa hay faqat zaib-e-daastaan kay liyeh

Meray Guloo main hay Ik Naghma-e-Jibraeel-e-Aashoob
Sanbhaal kar jissay rakhaa hay la makaan kay liyeh

Jo aap kee seeRhi pay chaRhaa phir naheeN utraa

MakRay nay kaha: Wah Farebi mujhay samjhay
Tum saa koie naadaaN zamaanay maiN naa hogaa

Manzoor tumhaari mujhay khaatir thee, wagar naa
Kuch faaidah apnaa tau miraa iss maiN naheeN thaa

URti huvee aaie ho khudaa jaanay kahaaN say
TheRo jo mairay ghar maiN tau hai iss maiN buraa kiyaa?

Iss ghar maiN kaiee tum ko dikhaanay kee haiN cheezaiN
Baahir say nazar aataa hai choTi see yeh kuTTiyaa

LaTkay huvay darwaazouN pay baareek haiN parday
DeewaarouN ko aainsay say hai maiN nay sajaayaa

MehmaanouN kay aaraam ko haazir haiN bichonay
Har shakhs ko saamaaN yeh mayassar naheeN hotaa

Makhi nay kahaa: Khair! yeh sub theek hai laikin
MaiN aap kaay ghar aaouN, yeh umeed naa rakhnaa

Inn nar'm bichonouN say Khudaa mujh ko bachaaye
So jaaye koie inn pay tau phir uTh naheeN saktaa

makRay nay kahaa dil maiN, sunni baat jo uss kee
phaaNsooN issay kiss tarah yeh kambakht hai daanaa

Sau kaam khushaamad say nikaltay haiN jahaaN maiN
Dekho jissay duniya maiN Khushaamad ka hai bandaa
(No offence to some people at Gupshup )

Yeh soch kay Makhi say kahaa uss nay BaRRi Bee
Allah nay bakhshaa hai baRaa aap ko rutbaa

Hoti hai ussay aap kee soorat say mohabbat
Ho jiss nay kabhi aik nazar aap ko dekhaa

AankhaiN haiN kay heeray kee chamakti huvee kanniyaN
Sar aap kaa Allah nay kalghi say sajaayaa

Yeh hus'n, yeh poshaak, yeh Khoobi, yeh safaaie!
Phir uss pay Qiyaamat hai yeh uRtay huvay gaanaa

Makhi nay sunni jub yeh khushaamad tau paseeji
Boli kay naheeN aap say mujh ko koie khaTkaa

Inkaar kee aadat ko samajhti hooN buraa maiN
Such yeh hai kay dil toRnaa achaa naheeN hotaa

Yeh baat kahi aur uRi apni jagah say
Pass aaiee tau makRay nay uchal kar ussay pakRaa

Bhookaa tha kaiee roz say ab haath jo aaiee
Aaraam say ghar beTh kay makhi ko uRaayaa

Iblees kee Arz-daasht

Kehtaa thaa Azaazeel*, Khudaa wand-e-JahaaN say
Parkaala-e-Aatish huvee Adam kee kuf-e-khaak

JaaN laaghar-O-Tunn farba-O-malboos badan Zeb
Dil naza' kee haalat maiN, khird pukhtaa-O-chaalaak!

Naa paak jissay kehti thee Mashriq kee shariat
Maghrib kay FaqeehouN kaa yeh Fatwah hai kay hai paak

Tujh ko naheeN maaloom kay Hooraan-e-Bahishti!
Weeraani-e-Jannat kay tasawwur say haiN ghum naak?

Jamhoor kay Ibless haiN Arbaab-e-Siyaasat
Baaqi naheeN abb meri zaroorat tahey Aflaak

Ehd-e-Tifli (Era of Infancy)

Thay diyaar-e-Nau, Zameen-O-AasmaaN mairay liye
Wus'at-e-aaghosh-e-maadar ik jahaaN mairay liye

Thee har ik juNmbish nishaan-e-lutf-e-jaaN mairay liye
hurf-e-bay matlab thee khud meri zubaaN mairay liye

Dard-e-Tifli maiN agar koie rulataa thaa mujhay
Shoorish-e-zanjeer-e-dar maiN lutf aataa thaa mujhay

Taktay rehnaa haye! woh pehrouN talak suu-e-Qamar
Woh phaTTay baadal maiN, bay aawaaz-e-paa uss kaa safar

poochna reh reh kay uss kay koh-e-sehraa kee khabar
Aur woh hairat darogh-e-maslihat aamaiz par

Aankh waqf-e-deed thee, Lub maail-e-guftaar thaa
Dil naa thaa meraa, saraapaa zoq-e-istafsaar thaa!

Zindagi InsaaN kee ...

Zindagi InsaaN kee ik dumm kay siwaa kuch bhee nahiN
Dumm hawaa kee mouj hai, rum kay siwaa kuch bhee nahiN

Gul, Tabassum keh rahaa thaa Zindagaani ko, magar
Shamma boli, Girya'-e-Ghumm kay siwaa kuch bhee nahiN

Raaz-e-Hasti Raaz hai jubb tuk koie Mehram naa ho
Khul gayaa jiss dumm, tau Mehram kay siwaa kuch bhee nahiN

Zaairaan-e-Ka'aba say Iqbal yeh poochay koie
Kiya Haram ka tohfaa Zam-Zam kay siwaa kuch bhee nahiN

Talaash-e-Gosha-e-uzlat maiN phir rahaa hooN maiN
yahaaN pahaaR kay daaman maiN aa chupaa hooN maiN

Shikastah Geet maiN chashmouN kay dilbari hai kamaal
Duaa-e-Tiflak-e-Guftaar Aazmaa kee misaal

Hai Takht-e-La'al-e-Shafaq par juloos-e-Akhtar-e-Shaam
Bahisht-e-Deeda-e-Beenaa hai Husn-e-Manzar-e-Shaam

Sukoot-e-Shaam-e-Judaaiee huvaa bahaanaa mujhay
Kissi kee yaad nai sikhlaa diyaa taraanaa mujhay

Yeh Kaifiat hai meri Jaan-e-Naa Shikeba kee!
Meri misaal hai Tifl-e-Sagheer-e-Tanhaa kee

Andheri raat maiN kartaa hai woh sarod Aaghaaz
Sadaa ko apni samajhtaa hai Ghair kee aawaaz

YouN hee maiN dil ko piyaam-e-Shikeb daitaa hooN
Shub-e-Firaaq ko goyaa Fareb daitaa hooN
