Jab Ishq Sikhata Hai


(Aziz Mian)


(Abidaa Parveen)

जब इश्क सीखाता है आदाब-ए-खुद आगाही
खुलते हैं गुलामों पर असरार-ए-शहंशाही
[ आदाब = Ways/traditions/rituals, खुद आगाही = self discovery, असरार = secrets, शहंशाही = kingly  ]

आईन-ए-जवांमर्दा हक-गोई औ बेबाकी
अल्लाह के शेरों को आती नहीं रुबाही
[ आईन= rule/principle, जवांमर्दा = firm and strong men, हक-गोई = truth/right telling, बेबाकी = fearlessness, रुबाही = tricks, legerdemain , deception  ]

ऐ ताईर-ए-लाहूती उस रिज़्क से मौत अच्छी
जिस रिज़्क से आती है परवाज़ में कोताही
[ताईर = bird, लाहूती = divine, रिज़्क = subsistence/daily bread, परवाज़ = flight/soaring high,  कोताही = lacking/hinder]

अत्तार हो रूमी हो, राज़ी हो, गजाली हो
कुछ हाथ नहीं आता बे आह-ए-सहरगाही
अत्तार, रूमी, राज़ी,  गजाली  = all were mystics and philosopher (Rumi and Attar were also poets ) , बे आह-ए-सहरगाही = without help in the light of dawn ]

दारा औ  सिकंदर से वो मर्द-ए-फ़कीर-उल्ला
हो जिसकी फकीरी में बू-ए-अस्सुदुल्लाही
दारा = Darius, सिकंदर = Alexander, मर्द-ए-फ़कीर-उल्ला = men of poverty/beggars, फकीरी = poverty, बू= fragrance , अस्सुदुल्लाही = "Lion of God' (Imam Ali) ]

नाउम्मीद न हो इस से ए रहबर-ए-फरज़ाना
कमकोश तो हैं लेकिन बेजौक़  नहीं राही
[ नाउम्मीद = without hope, रहबर = guide/one who shows the path, फरज़ाना = wise/intelligent , कमकोश = slow paced/sluggish, बेजौक़ = without zeal/joy, राही = travelers  ]

इकबाल


Jab Ishq Sikhata Hai Adab-e-Khud Agaahi
Khule Hain Ghulamon Par Asrar-e-Shehanshahi

Aaeen-e-Jawanmardan, Haq Goyi-o-Bebaki
Allah Ke Sheron Ko Ati Nahin Roobahi

Ae Tair-e-Lahooti! Uss Rizq Se Mout Achi
Jis Rizq Se Ati Ho Parwaz Mein Kotahi

Attar Ho, Rumi Ho, Razi Ho, Ghazali Ho
Kuch Hath Nahin Ata Be Aah-e-Sahargahi
[  Attar  ,  Rumi  ,  Razi  ,   Ghazali  = all were mystics and philosopher (Rumi and Attar were also poets ) , Be Aah-e  Sahargahi = without help in the light of dawn ]

Dara-o-Sikandar Se Woh Mard-e-Faqeer Aula
Ho Jis Ki Faqeeri Mein Boo-e-Asadullahi

Iqbaal


جب عشق سکھاتا ہے آداب ا خود آگاہی
کھلتیں ہیں غلاموں پی اسرار ا شھنشی 


این ا جوانمرداں حقگوی و بیباکی
الله کے شیروں کو آتی نہیں روباہی 


ہے طائر ا لاہوتی اس رزق سے موت اکچھ
جس رزق سے آتی ہے پرواز میں کوتاہی


اتار ہو رمی ہو راضی ہو گزالی ہو
کچھ ہاتھ نہیں آتا بیاہ ا سہارگاہی 


ڈرا و سکندر سے وو مرد ا فکرللہ 
ہو جس کی فکری میں بو ا اسدلّہٰ


نومید نہ ہو ان سے ہے رہبر ا فرزانہ
کمکوش تو ہیں لیکن بےذوق نہیں رہی 


 اقبال 


A rough Translation is given below

When Love teaches the ways of self realization
the divine secrets are revealed to the fettered

Characters of strong men are truth telling and fearlessness
the Lions of God know no tricks or deception

O divine bird ! Death is better than that subsistence
the subsistence which hinders you from  soaring high

Be is Attar or Rumi or Razi or Ghazalli
Nothing was achieved without the guidance of dawnlight

That Fakir is better  than Darius and Alexander
whose poverty has the fragrance of Asadullah (Ali)

Not be without hope O wise guide !
though slow paced are the travelers but not without zeal.
