علم وعشق
علم نے مجھ سے کہا عشق ہے ديوانہ پن
عشق نے مجھ سے کہا علم ہے تخمين و ظن
بندہ تخمين و ظن! کرم کتابی نہ بن

عشق سراپا حضور، علم سراپا حجاب

عشق کی گرمی سے ہے معرکۂ کائنات
علم مقام صفات، عشق تماشائے ذات
عشق سکون و ثبات، عشق حيات و ممات

علم ہے پيدا سوال، عشق ہے پنہاں جواب

عشق کے ہيں معجزات سلطنت و فقر و ديں
عشق کے ادنی غلام صاحب تاج و نگيں
عشق مکان و مکيں، عشق زمان و زميں

عشق سراپا يقيں، اور يقيں فتح باب

شرع محبت ميں ہے عشرت منزل حرام
شورش طوفاں حلال، لذت ساحل حرام
عشق پہ بجلی حلال، عشق پہ حاصل حرام
علم ہے ابن الکتاب، عشق ہے ام الکتاب
علامہ اقبال
