About the author
Muhammad Iqbal
298 books1,084 followersSir Allama Mohammad Iqbal also known as Allama Iqbal was born in 1877 in Sialkot, Punjab, in British Ruled India, now Pakistan, and was educated in the local school and college in Sialkot, before going on the university in Lahore. There he studied Arabic and philosophy as an undergraduate, then in 1899 did an M.A. in philosophy (being ranked first in the Punjab, and awarded a Gold Medal). He was appointed to a Readership in Arabic at the Oriental College in Lahore, and over the next few years became well known as a poet, as well as writing his first book (in Urdu), The Knowledge of Economics (1903).
In 1905 he travelled to Europe to continue his philosophical studies, first at Cambridge, then at Munich, where he obtained his doctorate with a thesis entitled The Development of Metaphysics in Persia. From 1907 to 1908 he was Professor of Arabic at the University of London; during this period he studied for the bar, becoming a barrister in 1908, when he returned to Lahore to practise law. While practising as an advocate at the Lahore High Court he continued to a part-time academic career as professor of philosophy and English Literature, being appointed Professor of Philosophy at the Government College, Lahore in 1911. He was knighted in 1923.
Despite his law practice, his philosophical work, and his gradual entry into politics, first as a member of the Punjab Legislative Council and later as president of the All India Muslim League, Iqbal was probably best known and respected as a poet. Nevertheless, his other activities brought him some measure of fame, especially six lectures that he gave at Madras, Osmania University at Hyderabad, and Aligarh, which were later published as The Reconstruction of Religious Thought in Islam (1930). During the early thirties he travelled extensively in the Middle East and Europe, participating in international political conferences, meeting philosophers and politicians, and writing.
His political view was that in theory a Muslim state wasn't desirable, as he held to the ideal of a world-wide Muslim community; nevertheless, he held that, at least in the short and medium terms, the only way for Indian Muslims to be able to live according to the tenets of Islam was in such a state, and he campaigned accordingly. He died in Lahore in 1938, some nine years before the creation of Pakistan, where his birthday is celebrated as national holiday.
Iqbal's philosophical work involved bringing various philosophical influences, including Leibniz, Hegel, and Nietzsche, to his Islamic scholarship, thus holding out the promise of a revival of genuine Islamic philosophical thought — a return of Islam to its place in the philosophical world. That promise has yet to be truly fulfilled, though it remains in place.
"To exist in pure duration is to be a self, and to be a self is to be able to say 'I am'." (The Reconstruction of Religious Thought in Islam p.56)

Waiz kamaal-e-tark se milti hai yaan muraad
duniya jo chorh di hei to uqbaa bhi chor de
The path to salvation is in the totality of rejection
If you shun the world, renounce as well the Hereafter

inspirational.
Poetry which inspires to such an extent that one cannot stop till quenching the thirst of the soul.
اے طائر لاہوتی! اس رزق سے موت اچھی
جس رزق سے آتی ہو پرواز میں کوتاہی
Ae Tair-e-Lahooti! Uss Rizq Se Mout Achi
Jis Rizq Se Ati Ho Parwaz Mein Kotahi
Translation
O Bird, who flies to the Throne of God, You must keep this truth in sight,
To suffer death is far nobler Than the bread that clogs your upward flight.

Allama Iqbal Says in other places
نشان یہی ہے زمانے میں زندہ قوموں کا
کہ صبح و شام بدلتی ہیں ان کی تقدیریں
Nishan Yehi Hai Zamane Mein Zinda Qoumon Ka
Ke Subha-O-Sham Badalti Hain In Ki Taqdeerain
It is the sign of living nations
their fate changes day and night.

However... this is NOT the sort of book which you can completely understand by just reading it once, or thoroughly enjoy by just giving it one try. Even if one has a command on basic structure and diction of Persian language, this collection of poetry deserves more perusal than just the one time to marvel at the level of excellence that Iqbal achieved through the depth of his thoughts and their association with life as we know it.

یہ کتاب ستاروں یا تبصرہ کی محتاج نہیں ۔ ویسے نظم سے مجھے کچھ خاص رغبت نہیں ۔ مگر اقبال ان چند شاعروں میں سے ہیں جنہیں میں مانتا ہوں ۔ اپنی ناقص رائے میں اقبال کے درجہ کو غالب ، میر و مرزا وغیرہ سے بلند تر سمجھتا ہوں ۔ اپنے سرہانے ، جہاں ناولوں ، سفرناموں وغیرہ کا نثری انبار کھڑا ہے ، وہاں فقط دو شعرا کی ہی کتابیں رکھتا ہوں : ہندی زبان کے مکتی بودھ اور اردو کے اقبال کی ۔

محمد إقبال هو واحد من شعراء العالم المعروفين وليس في حاجة إلي تعريف، لكن تقييم هذا الكتاب الذي يتضمن أربعة من دواوينه ليس تقييما لإقبال بل تقييما للترجمة. وبالنسبة لي فأنا صاحب موقف للشسعر المترجم، اكتسبت هذا الموقف بالتجربة ومن خلال ما قرأته لبعض المترجمين الكبار منهم الدكتور محمد عبد الله عنان. في الشعر الأمور تختلف تماما عن النثر، فالشعر عبارة عن حالة شعورية صاغها الشاعر في قالب لغوي فالشعر هنا هو الحالة الشعورية أولا ثم شكل القالب اللغوي الذي تم صبها فيه ثانيا. وهنا تكمن مشكلة ترجمة الشعر، المشكلة هنا هو أن ترجنة الشعر لابد أن تكون علي يد شاعر معروف في لغته الأم بأنه شاعر وليس مترجما، المترجم لا يكفي اتقانه للغتين أن يترجم الشعر بل يجب أن يكون شاعر مترجم حتي يتمكن من صب الحالة الشعورية للشاعر الأصلي في قالب اللغة التي يترجم لها. الأمر الثاني أن أن القالب اللغوي ليس شرطا أن يكون مراعيا للوزن والقافية علي الطريقة العربية القديمة، فالشعر الغير عربي يصعب أعادة صبه في هذه القوالب دون التخلي عن المعاني والحالة الشعورية للشاعر.
هنا أخطأ المترجم القدير في إصراره علي صب أشعار مترجمة في قوالب الشعر العربي المراعية للوزن والقافية وهذا أفقد الشعر لكثير من معانيه بعد أن تعسف المترجم في البحث عن الكلمات التي تراعي الوزن حتي لو خرج البيت شديد الركاكة في أغلب الأحيان.

Poetry with philosophical tinge - Iqbal style. It is important read for the reader who wants to understand the political thought of Indian Muslims at the time of partition. Beauty of his works is that, many of his concepts are still relevant... Concept of 'Khudi' is the foremost of them all whereby he motivates people to raise their self-esteem and understand their value in the comity of nations... Similarly emphasis on progress through rational approach and understanding of cause and effect were stressed giving anecdotal accounts from history...

I was 15 when I read this book first time. It is a book for everyone. I was too young at that time to actually comprehend the message being conveyed. However, I plan to read it again with increased interest. This is good learning, amusement and quite an experience on its own. Its a must have in your library.
I would strongly recommend everyone to read it. You need to have poetic sense and reasonably familiar of Urdu, Persian, Arabic and Hindi.
Profound,

آج غالباً دو برس بعد میں نے کلیاتِ اقبال اردو کو مکمل کیا اور جو کیفیت مجھ پہ طاری ہے وہ خوشی و غم کی ملی جلی شکل ہے اور اس کی وجہ بیان کرنا میرے بس میں نہیں بس اتنا کہنا چاہوں گا کہ اقبال نے کافی اہم باتیں سمجھائیں اور ہمارے آزاد خیال اور ملاں حضرات اقبال کی شاعری کو سمجھ نہیں پاتے اور نہ ہی کوشش کرتے ہیں کہ یہ نہ صرف گنجِ عقل و خرد ہے بلکہ اس میں شاعری کی اصل روح یعنی جذبات نگاری کا بہت مہارت سے استعمال کیا گیا ہے۔
آپ کو علامہ اقبال کے فن و حیات پہ سینکڑوں کتب مل جائیں گی لیکن آپ اقبال کو ان کا کلام پڑھے بنا سمجھ نہیں پائیں گے۔
آخر میں اقبال کی آخری اردو نظم حضرتِ انساں کو پڑھیے، نا جانے کیوں میری آنکھیں نم ناک ہو گئیں اس نظم کو پڑھنے کے بعد اور دل پہ ایک بوجھل سا احساس طاری ہو گیا۔۔۔۔۔
تاثرات از سید محمد حمزہ
حضرتِ انساں
جہاں میں دانش و بینش کی ہے کس درجہ ارزانی
کوئی شے چھپ نہیں سکتی کہ یہ عالم ہے نورانی
کوئی دیکھے تو ہے باریک فطرت کا حجاب اتنا
نمایاں ہیں فرشتوں کے تبسم ہائے پنہانی
یہ دنیا دعوت دیدار ہے فرزند آدم کو
کہ ہر مستور کو بخشا گیا ہے ذوق عریانی
یہی فرزند آدم ہے کہ جس کے اشک خونیں سے
کیا ہے حضرت یزداں نے دریاؤں کو طوفانی
فلک کو کیا خبر یہ خاکداں کس کا نشیمن ہے
غرض انجم سے ہے کس کے شبستاں کی نگہبانی
اگر مقصود کل میں ہوں تو مجھ سے ماورا کیا ہے
مرے ہنگامہ ہائے نو بنو کی انتہا کیا ہے

Yes, Hassan Nisar was right. Iqbal is just another contemporary and average poet. He may have written many provoking poems, but they were applicable to muslim/hindus/freedom fighters of 20th century.
Calling him poet of east is injustice with whole lot of eastern poets.

Poets of the East and Muslim Poets said
"I don’t care if you maltreat me or promise to unveil your beauty,
I just want something unbearable to test my fortitude"

یہ ناچیز اپنے آپ کو اس لائق نہیں سمجھتا کہ اقبال کی شاعری پہ تبصرہ کر سکے لیکن میرے جیسا بدزوق انسان جس کو شاعری سے خاص شغف نہیں یہ کہے بغیر نہیں رہ سکتا کہ اقبال نے اپنی شاعری کے ذریعے خودی کا فلسفہ دیا جبکہ عام طور پر برصغیر کی شاعری عشق معشوق کے گرد گھومتی ہے۔
