Zikar-o-Fikar – Zarb-e-Kaleem | Allama Iqbal Poetry | ذکر و فکر

Ye Hain Sub Aik Hi Salik Ki Justujoo Ke Maqam
Woh Jis Ki Shan Mein Aya Hai ‘Allam Al-Asma’

These are all Wayfarer’s search posts
About whom the Quran says: He taught all the names.

Maqam-e-Zikr, Kamalat-e-Rumi-O-Attar
Maqam-e-Fikr, Maqalat-e-Bu Ali Seena

 The achievements of Rumi and ‘Attar are stations of dhikr;
The computations of Bu ‘Ali Sina pertain to the station of fikr.

 To measure time and space is the station of fikr,
To recite: Exalted be my Lord, Most High is the station of dhikr.
