Muhammad Ali Baab – Zarb-e-Kaleem | Allama Iqbal Poetry | محمد علی باب

Muhammad Ali Baab

محمد علی باب

تھی خوب حضور علما باب کی تقریر
بیچارہ غلط پڑھتا تھا اعراب سموات

Thi Khoob Huzoor-e-Ulema Baab Ki Taqreeq
Bechara Galat Parthta Tha Araab-e-Samawat

Before assembled Muslim priests, Bab made a speech with apt remarks;
That fellow could not read aright ʹSamawatsʹ with its syntactic marks.

اس کی غلطی پر علما تھے متبسم
بولا ، تمہیں معلوم نہیں میرے مقامات

Uss Ki Ghalat Par Ulema The Mutabassam
Bola, Tumhain Maloom Nahin Mere Maqamat

The scholars smiled with contempt at stupid error that he made.
He said with courage and aplomb, They knew not his spiritual grade:

اب میری امامت کے تصدق میں ہیں آزاد
!محبوس تھے اعراب میں قرآن کے آیات

Ab Meri Imamat Ke Tasadduq Mein Hain Azad
Mehboos The Araab Mein Quran Ke Ayaat!

The verses of the Holy Book by desinential marks were bound;
They were ransomed and set free for sake of guidance true and sound.

(Muhammad Ali Baab)
