Khoob-o-Zisht – Zarb-e-Kaleem | Allama Iqbal Poetry | خوب و زشت

Khoob-o-Zisht

خوب و زشت

 

ستارگان فضاہائے نیلگوں کی طرح
تخیلات بھی ہیں تابع طلوع و غروب

Sitargan-e-Faza Haye Neelgoon Ki Tarah
Takhiyyulat Bhi Hain Taba-e-Tulu-o-Ghuroob

Just like the stars that shine in azure sky,
Thoughts have short span of life and soon they die.

 

جہاں خودی کا بھی ہے صاحب فراز و نشیب
یہاں بھی معرکہ آرا ہے خوب سے ناخوب

Jahan Khudi Ka Bhi Hai Sahib-e-Faraz-o-Nashaib
Yahan Bhi Maarka Aara Hai Khoob Se Na-Khoob

The realm of self has its ups and downs,
Even here, the Fair and Foul exchange their frowns.

 

نمود جس کی فراز خودی سے ہو ، وہ جمیل
!جو ہو نشیب میں پیدا ، قبیح و نامحبوب

Namood Jis Faraz-e-Khudi Se Ho, Woh Jameel
Jo Ho Nashaib Mein Paida, Qabeeh-o-Na-Mehboob

If self has reached the height, its acts are fine,
Debased, its deeds as good one canʹt define.

(Khoob-o-Zisht)
