The Traveller’s Request
Do not look at the garden of existence like a stranger
If you had not come I would have had no occasion for...
O Lord! Strange is the piety of the preacher
I should procure such straws for my nest from somewhere
What can I say how I got separated from my garden
Unusual in state, distinct from the whole world they are
One should not see the Spectacle with the material eye
What should I say how much Longing for dejection I have
The one I was searching for on the earth and in heaven
Completion of your Love is what I desire
When that Beniaz opens His Graceful Hand
I bear hardships on myself, I am unconcerned with others
Majnun abandoned habitation, you should abandon wilderness...

O zephyr! Convey my message to the one wrapped in blanket
These songs of turtle doves and nightingales are merely...
O dejected nightingale your lament is immature still
Lift the veil from thy Face and be manifest in the assembly
The spring breeze is flowing again start singing, O Iqbal
For once, O awaited Reality, reveal Thyself in a form...
No wonder if the garden birds remained fond of poetry even...
Though you are bound by cause and effect
In the East principles are changed to religion
The girls are learning English
The Sheikh also is not a supporter of women’s seclusion
O wise man! This is a matter of a few days only
Western education is very encouraging
It does not matter if the preacher is poor
The patient of civilization will not be cured by the goli
Will there be an end to this, how long should we buy
We poor Easterners have been entangled in the West
“The search, the witness and the thing witnessed are the...
We have lost all material resources
As I tried to commit suicide the Miss exclaimed
So naive were they not to appreciate the Arabs’ worth
In India councils are a part of the government
Membership of the Imperial council is not at all difficult
What will be a better proof of affection and fidelity
The Sheikh was giving a sermon on the mode of operation
Let us see how long this business of the East lasts
The cow one day started saying to the camel
Last night the mosquito related to me
This new ‘verse’ was revealed to me from the jail
Life may be lost but truth should not be lost
Capital and labor are in confrontation with each other
That eternal rind has departed from the border of Sham
One day a dispute arose between the farmer and the owner
Throw them out in the alley
The owner of the factory is a useless man
I have heard this was the talk in the factory yesterday

کوششِ نا تما م

فُرقتِ آفتاب میں کھاتی ہے پیچ و تاب صُبح
چشمِ شفَق ہے خوں فشاں اخترِ شام کے لیے
رہتی ہے قیسِ روز کو لیلیِ شام کی ہوس
اخترِ صبح مضطرب تابِ دوام کے لیے
کہتا تھا قطبِ آسماں قافلۂ نجوم سے
ہمرہو، میں ترس گیا لُطفِ خرام کے لیے
سوتوں کو ندّیوں کا شوق، بحر کا ندّیوں کو عشق
موجۂ بحر کو تپش ماہِ تمام کے لیے
حُسنِ ازل کہ پردۂ لالہ و گُل میں ہے نہاں
کہتے ہیں بے قرار ہے جلوۂ عام کے لیے
رازِ حیات پُوچھ لے خِضرِ خجستہ گام سے
زندہ ہر ایک چیز ہے کوششِ نا تمام سے
The Unsuccessful Effort
