دیوانه و دلبسته ی اقبال خودت باش
Be crazy and heartful of your own fortune
سرگرم خودت عاشق احوال خودت باش
Amuse yourself and love your circumstances
یک لحظه نخور حسرت آن را که نداری
Do not regret for a moment that you do not have much
راضی به همین چند قلم مال خودت باش
Be satisfied with the few pennies that you possess
دنبال کسی باش که دنبال تو باشد
Seek who which seeks you in return
اینگونه اگر نیست به دنبال خودت باش
If such is not the case, seek within yourself
پرواز قشنگ است ولی بی غم و منت
Flight is beautiful but without suffering and relying
منت نکش از غیر و پر و بال خودت باش
Do not rely on others and be the wings of yourself
صد سال اگر زنده بمانی گذرانی
If you lived a hundred years you are still passing
پس شاکر هر لحظه و هر سال خودت باش
Therefore, be thankful of every moment and year
Muhammad Iqbal - محمد اقبال

بی خبر از حال هم بودن چه سود؟
برمزار مردگان خویش نالیدن چه سود؟
What good is it to be unaware of each other’s state?
What good is it to mourn over each other’s grave?
زنده را تا زنده است باید به فریادش رسید
ورنه بر سنگ مزارش آب پاشیدن چه سود ؟
Reach the call of those so long as they live.
Otherwise what good is it to pour water over their tomb?
گر نرفتی خانه اش تا زنده بود
خانه صاحب عزا خوابیدن چه سود؟
If you didn’t visit their homes while alive
What good is it to visit the homes of the dead?
تا زمانی زنده ایم بایکدیگر بیگانه ایم
در عزاها روی همدیگر بوسیدن چه سود؟

What good is it to greet each other with kisses while mourning?

به روز مرگ چو تابوت من روان باشد
گمان مبر که مرا درد این جهان باشد
When my bier moveth on the day of death
Think not my heart is in this world.
برای من مگری و مگو دریغ دریغ
به دوغ دیو درافتی دریغ آن باشد
Do not weep for me and cry “woe, woe!”
Thou wilt fall in the devil’s snare: that is woe
جنازهام چو ببینی مگو فراق فراق
مرا وصال و ملاقات آن زمان باشد
When thou seest my hearse, cry not, “gone, gone!”
Union and meeting are mine in that hour
مرا به گور سپاری مگو وداع وداع
که گور پرده جمعیت جنان باشد
If thou commit me to the grave, say not “Farewell, farewell”
For the grave is a curtain hiding the communion of paradise
فروشدن چو بدیدی برآمدن بنگر
غروب شمس و قمر را چرا زبان باشد
After beholding descent, consider resurrection
Why should setting be injurious to the sun and moon?
تو را غروب نماید ولی شروق بود
لحد چو حبس نماید خلاص جان باشد
To thee it seems a setting, but ’tis a rising’
Tho’ the vault seems a prison, ’tis the release of a soul
کدام دانه فرورفت در زمین که نرست
چرا به دانه انسانت این گمان باشد
What seed went down into the earth but it grew?
Why this doubt of thine as regards the seed of man?
کدام دلو فرورفت و پر برون نامد
ز چاه یوسف جان را چرا فغان باشد
What bucket was lowered but it came out brimful?
Why should the Joseph of the Spirit complain of the well?
دهان چو بستی از این سوی آن طرف بگشا
که های هوی تو در جو لامکان باشد
Shut thy mouth on this side, and open it beyond
For in placeless air will by thy triumphal song.
Jalaluddin Rumi Balkhi - Divani Shamsi Tabriz

ايک نوجوان کے نام - To a young man
ترے صوفے ہيں افرنگی ، ترے قاليں ہيں ايرانی
لہو مجھ کو رلاتی ہے جوانوں کی تن آسانی
Your sofas are from Europe, your carpets from Iran;
This slothful opulence evokes my sigh of pity.
امارت کيا ، شکوہ خسروی بھی ہو تو کيا حاصل
نہ زور حيدری تجھ ميں ، نہ استغنائے سلمانی
In vain if you possess Khusroe’s imperial pomp,
If you do not possess prowess of Hazrat Ali (a.s) or contentment of Hazrat Salman (a.s).
نہ ڈھونڈ اس چيز کو تہذيب حاضر کی تجلی ميں
کہ پايا ميں نے استغنا ميں معراج مسلمانی
Seek not thy joy or greatness in the glitter of Western life,
For in contentment lies a Muslim’s joy and greatness.
عقابی روح جب بيدار ہوتی ہے جوانوں ميں
نظر آتی ہے اس کو اپنی منزل آسمانوں ميں
When an eagle’s spirit awakens in youthful hearts,
It sees its luminous goal beyond the starry heavens.
نہ ہو نوميد ، نوميدی زوال علم و عرفاں ہے
اميد مرد مومن ہے خدا کے راز دانوں ميں
Despair not, for despair is the decline of knowledge and gnosis:
The Hope of a Believer is among the confidants of God.
نہيں تيرا نشيمن قصر سلطانی کے گنبد پر
تو شاہيں ہے ، بسيرا کر پہاڑوں کی چٹانوں ميں
Thy abode is not on the dome of a royal palace;
You are an eagle and should live on the rocks of mountains.
Allama Iqbal Lahori - Bal-e-Jibril 139

تن آدمی شریف است به جان آدمیت
نه همین لباس زیباست نشان آدمیت
The human body is honored to have the soul of humanity
It is not beautiful clothes, that is a sign of humanity.
اگر آدمی به چشم است و دهان و گوش و بینی
چه میان نقش دیوار و میان آدمیت
If being human was just about having eyes, mouth, ears and nose
Then what is the difference between wall patterns and the human who drew it.
خور و خواب و خشم و شهوت شغبست و جهل و ظلمت
حیوان خبر ندارد ز جهان آدمیت
Appetite, slumber, anger and lust cause sedition, corruption, ignorance and blindness
Wildlife does not know the world of humanity
به حقیقت آدمی باش وگرنه مرغ باشد
که همین سخن بگوید به زبان آدمیت
Live with the reality of humanity or be like a bird
It is this bird that imitates the language of humanity
مگر آدمی نبودی که اسیر دیو ماندی
که فرشته ره ندارد به مقام آدمیت
You’re not a human, if you are captive of a beast (nafs/desires)
Because even angels don’t have a way to the nest of humanity
اگر این درندهخویی ز طبیعتت بمیرد
همه عمر ��نده باشی به روان آدمیت
If this savagery (animalistic traits) dies out of your nature
You will live with a human psyche the rest of your life
رسد آدمی به جایی که به جز خدا نبیند
بنگر که تا چه حد است مکان آدمیت
Mankind reaches a point where it sees nothing but God
Observe (see) how vast is the reach of humanity
طیران مرغ دیدی تو ز پایبند شهوت
به در آی تا ببینی طیران آدمیت
Did you see the birds flight? O you, who are bound by lust
Free yourself, so you can see the humanity’s flight
نه بیان فضل کردم که نصیحت تو گفتم
هم از آدمی شنیدیم بیان آدمیت
I do not mean to express my virtues, as I give you advice
What we heard was a description of humanity from a human.
Humanity - Saadi Shirazi

“Wondrous is the affair of the believer for there is good for him in every matter and this is not the case with anyone except the believer. If he is happy, then he thanks Allah and thus there is good for him, and if he is harmed, then he shows patience and thus there is good for him.”
— Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
[Narrator: Suhayb, Source: Sahih Muslim]

"If you stick a knife in my back 9inches & pull it out 6inches there’s no progress. If you pull it all the way out there’s no progress. Progress is healing the wound. And they haven’t pulled the knife out, much less heal the wound.They won’t even admit the knife is there"
55 years ago today Al Haj Malik al Shabaaz aka #MalcomX was murdered.
In this ever divisive world, may we continue his spirit for justice and truth to power.
