Hakeem Natsha – Zarb-e-Kaleem | Allama Iqbal Poetry | حکیم نطشہ

Hakeem Natsha

حکیم نطشہ

حریف نکتۂ توحید ہو سکا نہ حکیم
نگاہ چاہیے اسرار ‘لا الہ’ کے لیے

Hareef-e-Nukta-e-Touheed Ho Saka Na Hakeem
Nigah Chahiye Asrar-e-‘LA ILAHA’ Ke Liye

The subtle point that God is one, The German sage could not perceive:
Clear sight and mind are both a must, So that this point one may conceive.

خدنگ سینۂ گردوں ہے اس کا فکر بلند
کمند اس کا تخیل ہے مہرو مہ کے لیے

Khadang-e-Seena-e-Gardoon Hai Uss Ka Fikr-e-Buland
Kumand Uss Ka Takhiyul Hai Mehr-o-Mah Ke Liye

The flights of fancy, like a dart, Can hit the dome of azure sky:
He casts his noose on moon and sun that seem so far above and high.

اگرچہ پاک ہے طینت میں راہبی اس کی
ترس رہی ہے مگر لذت گنہ کے لیے

Agarcha Pak Hai Tiniat Mein Rahbi Uss Ki
Taras Rahi Hai Magar Lazzat-e-Gunah Ke Liye

Although his natural bent of mind from stains and blemish is quite free;
His soul this dormant fact betrays, He yearns for life replete with spree.

(Hakeem Natsha)
