Tera Wujood saraapa tajalliy-e-afrang
ke tu wahan kay imaarat garon ki hai tameer
magar yeh paiker-e-khaaki khudi se hai khaali
faqat niyaam hai tu zar nigaar-o-bay-shamsheer

teri nigaah mein saabit nahin khuda ka wujood
meri nigaah mein sabit nahin wujood tera!
wujood kia hai? faqat jauhar-e-khudi ki namood
ker apni fikr kay jauhar hai bay-namood tera
I’ve been watching every politician or political analysts talking about the whole whole election, the parties, the results and the consequences. And believe me the debates on T.V. are just there to pass time as they offer no solution. So, being tired of seeing “respectable” people like Benazir and Sheikh Rasheed and others, I decided to switch it off before it switches off my mood for the rest of the day! Though I’m still fidgety sitting here. But then I have Iqbal’s collection with me and it struck me why not make my blog “complete” by adding some of his verses…
A couplet that I love from “Mard-e-Musalman“…
yeh raaz kisi ko nahin maloom ke momin
qari nazar aata hai, haqeeqat mein hai Quran
And it’s so sad that we, who should be the embodiment of Quran don’t really know what it says. And I’m sure that whatever we are suffering in today’s world is because we’ve failed to realise the purpose of our existence.
