شعر را مقصود اگر آدم گری ست
شاعری ہم وارث پیغمبری ست
If the object of poetry is to create a new man,
شعر را مقصود اگر آدم گری ست
شاعری ہم وارث پیغمبری ست
If the object of poetry is to create a new man,
Then poetry too is a successor to
prophethood.
Just see what is happening
around and what is going to happen;
What is the use in paying attention to the old tales?
What is the use in paying attention to the old tales?
Transmute thy handful of
dust into gold
By submitting before a Perfect Man.
Another aspect of Iqbal's political thought was his concern with social injustice; for example, in “God's Order” (فرمان خدا) [B. J., 149] he makes God decree to his angels:
Get up and rouse the poor people of my world from sleep,
Shake the walls and gates of the palaces of the rich.
Warm the blood of my slaves with the ardour of Truth,
Let the humble sparrow contend with the eagle.
The age of democratic rule is drawing near,
Destroy all the old pictures wherever you find them.
Burn up the wheat on the fields
Which yield no bread to the farmer.
