2nd father of pakistan

[PakSher]

It should be for respect only.

 

[Fighter488]

‘Dil kay aiwanon main liyay gul shuda shamon kee qataar

Noor-e-Khurshid say sehmay huay uktaay huay

Muzmahil saaet-e-imroz kee bayrangi say

Yaad-e-Maazee say ghameen, dehshat-e-fardaa say nidhaal’

[Translation]

‘Carrying a line of extinguished candles in the depths of our hearts

Exhausted and frightened of the sunshine

Enervated by the colorlessness of our days

Sorrowful at the past and terrified of the future’


Allama Iqbal

Which poetic collection of Iqbal, this stanza belong to? Could you please tell us, Benny?

From the book "The Idea of Pakistan and Iqbal: A disclaimer" ...

Dr. Sir Mohd Iqbal, M.A., Ph.D. Barrister-at-Law

Lahore 4 March 1934

My Dear Mr. Thompson,

I have just received your review of my book. It is excellent and I am grateful to you for the very kind things you have said of me. But you have made one mistake which I hasten to point as I consider it rather serious. You call me a protagonist of the scheme called “Pakistan”. Now Pakistan is not my scheme. The one that I suggested in my address is the creation of a Muslim Province – i.e; a province having an overwhelming population of Muslims in the North-West of India. This new province will be, according to my scheme, a part of the proposed Indian Federation. Pakistan scheme proposes a separate federation of Muslim Provinces directly related to England as a separate dominion. This scheme originated in Cambridge. The authors of this scheme believe that we Muslim Round Tablers have sacrificed the Muslim nation on the altar of Hindu or the so called Indian Nationalism.

Yours Sincerely,

Mohammed Iqbal

He was a great Philosopher of sub-continent, not Pakistan. I don't support his hijacking by Pakistan.

One stanza for you...

A chand husn tera fitrat ki aabroo hai,
Toof e hareem khaki teri qadeem khoo hai,
Yeh daagh sa jo tere seeney pe hai numayan,
Ashiq hai tu kisi ka aor yeh dagh e arzoo hai.

Ilama Mohammed Iqbal.
Dahr mien ism e Mohammed se Ujala kar de..

Zamana aya hai ajab be hijabi ka,
Ab deedar e yaar aaam ho gha,
pehlay chup k peetey thy peeney waley ab,
Banaey gha saraa jahan meh-khan,
aor har koi badaa khuwaar ho gha.
