A NATION is known by the role-models it keeps

Well mere bhai, I have consulted several urdu ustads and even some learned alims regarding this verse, almost all but few were of the view that Iqbal was indicating about the unholy relation between Mehmood and Ayaz. There are many Islamic scholers who object to the following verse just coz of Mehmood's character and feel that they should not be used to glorify Islam.

**Ek Hi Saf Me Khare Ho Gaye Mehmood O Ayaz

Na Koi Banda Raha Na Koi Banda Nawaz
**
I doubt ur ability to understand Iqbal's poetry.

Iqbal is saying that, There no body like Mehmood left, who despite all the risks and danger will go to the Kafirstan and fight for the Muslims, on the same note, he is saying nor does Slaves like Ayaz exists anymore, who will not think about the consequences of the order given by his Master...

LOL at ur understanding of Iqbal, so U make it out like this

*Na woh Ishq maiN raheeN germiyaaN, na woh husn maiN raheeN shokhiyaaN
na woh ghazanvi maiN tarp rahee, na woh kham hay zulf-e-Ayaaz maiN *

Means that

**no body like Mehmood left, who despite all the risks and danger will go to the Kafirstan and fight for the Muslims, on the same note, he is saying nor does Slaves like Ayaz exists anymore, who will not think about the consequences of the order given by his Master...

**WOW brother, ur funny description of this verse has really created a new milestone in urdu poetry..........lol. I m sure that members will enjoy it.

Plz go and learn again how to interpretate an urdu poetry and that too by Iqbal. Had Iqbal wanted to explain what U are trying to prove than he could have not used names of Mehmood and Ayaz in this manner in his verse, But I m sure that Iqbal's poetry are not for U.

And all this not in the lusty way that your dirty hindu mind is drawing.. it is all said in patriotic terms... anyway the followers of coward Ram who waited years to go and get her beloved wife and worshipers of theif god will not understand what dignity is or stands for...

Its unfortunate brother that Inspite of my reminding U several times the teaching of holy quran, U still deny to honour it. Plz let me know what U found in **CHARACTER **of Mehmood Gaznawi that U are so hell bent to even violate commands of ALLAH for him. Patriotic terms...........lol.

I did for a second thought that by writing complete ghazal you may understand the verse but it my fault to give you this credit.. a credit of being intellect.. you were unable to prove that Mehmood was gay from the poetry of Iqbal but you have proved that Indians are biased and anyone hoping and friendly relationships with them is a fool...
[/QUOTE]
Allama Iqbal has proven by his verse that Mehmood was a gay. Now U can try becoming a big mouth and intellectual, but thats not gonna help U. if something will help U out thats my prayers for U. May ALLAH show U the right path AMEEN.

Peace to U brother.
