Sitaron se aage jahan aur bhi hain…

Sitaron se aage jahan aur bhi hain
Abhi ishq ke imtehan aur bhi hain
Tahi zindagi se nahin ye fizayen
Yahan siakdon karwaan aur bhi hain
Khana’at na kar aalam-e-rang-o-bu par
Chaman aur bhi aashiyaan aur bhi hain
Agar kho gaya ek nasheman to kya ghum
Maqmat-e-aah-o-fughaan aur bhi hain
Tu shaheen hai parvwaaz hai kaam tera
Tere saamne aasmaan aur bhi hain
Isi roz-o-shab main ulajh kar na rah ja
Ke tere zameen par makaan aur bhi hain
Gaye din ke tanha tha main anjuman mein
Yahaan ab mere raazdaan aur bhi hain

Translation:

Beyond the stars there are worlds more
Our quest yet has more tests to pass
This existence alone does not matter
There are boundless journeys more
Do not rest on what you have
There are paradises more to explore
Why worry if you have lost one abode
There are a million addresses to claim
You are the falcon, your passion is flight
And you have skies more to transcend
Lose not yourself in the cycle of days and nights
Within your reach are feats even more
Gone is the day when I was lonesome in the crowd
Today those who resonate my thoughts are more

Mohammed Iqbal
Naujawaan ke Naam, Bal-e-Jibraeel, 1908

    Salam,

    What can I say about this poem. What was the level of thinking of this great thinker.

    But can you please explain to me whom Allama Iqbal (RA) was referring to in the last line ‘yahaan ab mere raazdaan aur bhi hain’?

  3. sufizen says:

    I think the poet is referring to the idea that those aware of the divine purpose are many now.

  4. I find it difficult to add my words to say thing about thought of A. Iqbal. Only thing i can say that he was a great and no one is like him.

    Khud Iqbal bhi Iqbal se Aagah nahi hai.
