Rah gayi rasm-e-azaN, ruh-e-Bilali na rahi
Falsafa rah gaya, talqin-e-Ghazali na rahi
- Iqbal
[apparently talqin means religious teachings but what does falsafa mean?]

JazakAllah khair.
I think the excerpt is from Jawab e shikwa

Na tu zameen ke liye heh na aasman ke liye
Jahan heh tere liye tu nahin jahan ke liye
I've this second line from a couplet. I don't know who's written it. Please, can anyone complete it for me?
(something something)
Mushkilen itni padeen mujh pe ke aasaan ho gayi
JazakAllah
Life is real, life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art; to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.
رنج کا خوگر ہوا انسان تو مٹ جاتا ہے رنج
مشکلیں اتنی پڑیں مجھ پہ کہ آساں ہو*گئیں
[مرزا غالب]

Sorry, didn't want to start a new thread for this, but just to let those interested know, I've added some more naatayn to saleel.com.
Go to http://www.saleel.com/ and click on "anasheed / naatayn".

this is usually attributed to Iqbal but it is not his shair
I love Iqbal btw.
Tundi baad-mukhalif say na gabhra ay auqaab
yeh to chalti hai tujhay ooncha uranay kay liya
( dont be depressed by the strength of the opposing wind, falcon
it gusts to make you soar).
Qarz ki peetay thay mae
soochtay thay rang lai gee hamari faqa masti ek din
Ghalib
Ik he saaf main kharay ho gay mehmood o ayaz
na koi banda raha na koi banda nawaz.
JazakAllah Brother.
Life is real, life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art; to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.
چُناں و*چُنیں
انور مسعود
گلی میں اب نہیں باقی وہ ڈھیر کُوڑے کا
ہوئی ہے ختم یہاں سے جو اٹھ رہی تھی سڑانڈ
مگر یہ فال بھی نکلی بیاض حافظ سے
’چُناں نماند چُنیں نیز ہم نخواہد ماند‘
چنان نماند و چنين نيز هم نخواهد ماند؛ جیسے وہ صورت نہیں رہی یہ بھی نہیں رہے گی
