Which is ur favourite poetry???

[shoeb.momin]

Dear brothers,
The purpose of starting this thread is so that everyone will post their favourite poetry, either of Shaikh saadi, Allama Iqbal, Rumi (ra) etc.

Some poetries are very provocative and rekindles the imaan.

It would be very helpful, if any brother can post Alllama Iqbal's famous poem "Shikva" and its answer.

[shoeb.momin]

Ki Muhammed se wafa to hum tere hain,
Yeh jahan cheez hain kya, lauh ho kalam tere hain.

[Sinner#1]

Ki Muhammed se wafa to hum tere hain,
Yeh jahan cheez hain kya, lauh ho kalam tere hain.

This one is also from Allaama Iqbal r.a. ryt??

Falak ko zid hai jahaa'n bijli giraane ki, hamein bhi zid hai wahii'n aashiya'n banaa ne ki....

These couplets are simply soul stirring.. holding on to me these days.. with a weak attempt at translation..

from Baal e Jibrail (Wings of Jibrael) By Allama Iqbal sahab

Wohi Meri Kam Naseebi, Wohi Teri Be Niazi
Mere Kaam Kuch Na Aya, Ye Kamal-e-Ne Nawazi..

My Misfortune remains the same.. and thou.. un moved.. bereft of any yearning..
And what merit did it serve.. by lofty reaches of mendicancy..

Mein Kahan Hun Tu Kahan Hai, Ye Makan Ke La-Makan Hai?
Ye Jahan Mera Jahan Hai, ke Teri Karishma Sazi..


Where are You.. and where am I.. is this space bounded or vastness infinite..?
Does this world to me belong, or a wonder of thy art..

Issi Kashmakash Mein Guzreen, Meri Zindagi Ki Raatain
Kabhi Souz-o-Saaz-e-Rumi, Kabhi Paich-o-Taab-e-Razi..

My days and nights are tossed.. In the very storm of confusion..
In the yearnings of a Rumi, Or the bewilderment of a Razi…

Woh Faraib Khurdah Shaheen, Ke Pala Ho Kargason Mein
Usay Kya Khabar ke Kya Hai, Reh-O-Rasm-E-Shahbazi..

How deceived is the little falcon.. raised up (and seduced) amongst the vultures..
What doeth he really comprehend.. The ethereal life of the Royal Falcon..

Na Zuban Koi Ghazal Ki, Na Zuban Se Ba-Khabar Main
Koi Dil Kusha Sada Ho, Ajami Ho Ya Ke Tazi..

A lyrical strain this is not, And I know not the languages
I seek sounds captivating, Be they Arab or Persian..

Nahin Faqar-O-Sultanat Mein, Koi Imtiaz Aisa
Ye Sipah Ki Taeg Bazi, Woh Nigah Ki Taeg Bazi..

Thin partitions divide, between hermitage and kingdom
One wields power of the sword, The other wields power of the sight..

Koi Karwan Se Toota, Koi Bad-Guman Haram Se
Ke Ameer-E-Karwan Mein Nahin Khuay Dil Nawazi..

One lost away from the caravan, the other wary of faith
And leader of the folks Iam not .. just an ode to sooth my heart..

duas..

wa assalam..

Allama Iqbal

Sitaron Se Age Jahan Aur Bhi Hain

sitaron se age jahan aur bhi hain
abhi ishq k imtihan aur bhi hain

tahi zindagi se nahin ye fazayen
yahan saikaron karawan aur bhi hain

kanat na kar alam-e-rang-o-bu par
chaman aur bhi, ashiyan aur bhi hain

agar kho gaya ek nasheman to kya gam
maqamat-e-ah-o-fugan aur bhi hain

tu shahin hai parwaz hai kam tera
tere samne asman aur bhi hain

isi roz-o-shab mein ulajh kar na rah ja
k tere zamin-o-makan aur bhi hain

gae din k tanha tha main anjuman mein
yahan ab mere razadan aur bhi hain

I also like Shaheen of Allama Iqbal.

Jhapatna Palatna, Palat ker Jhaptna...

Lahoo Garam Rakhne Ka Hai Ik Bahana..==Awesome

Since it's all poems by Allamah Iqbal at the moment, my favourite by him is "Imaamat".

[Abu_Tamim]

Na pooch in khirqa poshon ki,
Iraadat ho to dekh inko,
Yad-e-baidha liye baithey hain,
Zaalim aasteenon mein.

Ask not of these cloak wearing folk,
Look at them with eyes of devotion,
Life giving hands have they hidden,
In their tattered sleeves.......Iqbal.
Every time I read this, I am reminded of Mawlana Sa'ad, Allah knows why.
