Baree mushkil sei hota hai chaman main deeda wur paida !

It was da death anniversary of 1 of our gre8st leaders, Allama Mohammad Iqbal. His approach was so diverse, universal n comprehensive in all respects dat is difficult 2 discuss n analyse by ordinary ppl like m. Humanity, democracy, Ijtehad n knowledge r some of da major areaz he discusses n interprets in his poetry. He believed in Tauheed n Sunnah, da base of Islam, da religion of safety n security. Iqbal was opposed 2 da division of Ummah in da name of geographical frontiers, ethnicity, race, colour or language or due 2 any other reason ( like sub sey pehlay…).Accordin 2 him humanity is identical 2 Islam n 1 cannot search 4 it out of it (Islam).
Iqbal teachez us dat Islam in itself is a destination. da holy Quran has been a permanent source of his inspiration which influenced his thoughts. He had rejected da passive n negative form of mysticism.
Iqbal is some1 who alwayz advocated constant change. He had suggestd dat ‘immortal life’ cannot b achieved widout persistent effortz n struggle. He believed dat v hv 2 launch vigorous struggle against evil powers 2 achieve tis immortal life.
s a matter of fact v r largely devoid of da characteristics of a man of faith (Mard-i-Momin), s envisaged by Iqbal, which cud bring abt a revolution in society. v hv 2 look in2 causes of tis lacuna in ourselves. n far s Ummah is concerned, it’s confrontd wid ever increasin tribulations n hardships…n… he emphasized on jihad… which has become a prohibitd subject theze days. da main cause 4 our sufferin is contradictionz in wat v think n wat v act. Unless v undo these contradictionz, v cannot overcome our difficulties n it’s impossible unless v become **kirdaar k ghaazi **, instead of ghuftaar k ghaazi. There musn’t b any dout dat da present scenario requires dat all da muslimz, in fact all da ‘humans’, should understand n follow da msg of tis gr8 philosopher.

well, deeda war =dakhnay wala, one who can see
paida = born

Please feel free to correct this.

The actual shair is,

Hazarron saal nargis apni 'baynoori' pay roti hai
Bari mushkil say hota hai chaman main, 'dedawar'paida

Nice shair!

BTW you refer to 'struggle' - he did not advocate violent forms of struggle I hope?

such a great guy was born amongst loosers like us, who don't even bother to study his kalaam other than school books, and those who call them as scholars on iqbal do are such pathetic(personal experience , not pointing towards all of them). we just don't deserve great people like him coz we don't know how to respect them.

very inspirational shayar

Aye Iqbal! mein tujhe salaam bhejta hon

The more you read his ghazals, the more you realize how great he was as a poet!
