Shikast – Zarb-e-Kaleem | Allama Iqbal Poetry | شکست

Shikast

شکست

 

مجاہدانہ حرارت رہی نہ صوفی میں
بہانہ بے عملی کا بنی شراب الست

Mujahidana Hararat Rahi Na Sufi Mein
Bahana Be-Amali Ka Bani Sharab-e-Alasst

The mystics of the present age are devoid of warriorʹs rage:
The claim that they are rapt with wine of ’Last and turn from Code Divine!

 

فقیہ شہر بھی رہبانیت پہ ہے مجبور
کہ معرکے ہیں شریعت کے جنگ دست بدست

Faqeeh-e-Sheher Bhi Ruhbaniat Pe Hai Majboor
Ke Maarke Hain Shariat Ke Jang-e-Dast-Badast

The jurist has such bent of mind that makes to monkish mode inclined,
In Holy Wars take rock‐like stand, They are just combats hand to hand.

 

گریز کشمکش زندگی سے، مردوں کی
!اگر شکست نہیں ہے تو اور کیا ہے شکست

Garaiz Kashmakash-e-Zindagi Se, Mardon Ki
Agar Shikast Nahin Hai To Aur Kya Hai Shikast!

Manʹs flight from conflicts of life, or escape from its heat and strife:
If these not be abject defeat, What else is then a mean retreat?

(Shikast)
