(Zarb-e-Kaleem-011) Ilm-o-Ishq

Ilm-o-Ishq
KNOWLEDGE AND LOVE

Ilm Ne Mujh Se Kaha Ishq Hai Diwana-Pan
Ishq Ne Mujh Se Kaha Ilm Hai Takhmeen-o-Zan

Knowledge said to me, Love is madness;
 Love said to me, Knowledge is calculation—

Band-e-Takhmeen-o-Zan! Kirm-e-Kitabi Na Ban
Ishq Sarapa Huzoor, Ilm Sarapa Hijab!

O slave of calculation, do not be a bookworm!
 Love is Presence entire, Knowledge nothing but a Veil.

Ishq Ki Garmi Se Hai Maarka-e-Kainat
Ilm Maqam-e-Sifat, Ishq Tamasha-e-Zaat

The universe is moved by the warmth of Love;
  Knowledge deals with the Attributes, Love is a vision of the Essence;

Ishq Sukoon-o-Sabat,Ishq Hayat-o-Mamat
Ilm Hai Paida Sawal, Ishq Hai Pinhan Jawab!

Love is peace and permanence, Love is Life and Death:
 Knowledge is the rising question, Love is the hidden answer.

Ishq Ke Hain Maujazat Saltanat-o-Faqr-o-Deen
Ishq Ke Adna Ghulam Sahib-e-Taj-o-Nageen

Kingdom, faith and faqr are all miracles of Love;
 The crowned kings and lords are base slaves of Love;

Ishq Makan-o-Makeen, Ishq Zaman-o-Zameen
Ishq Sarapa Yaqeen, Aur Yaqeen Fatah-e-Bab!

Love is the Space and the Creation, Love is Time and Earth!
 Love is conviction entire, and conviction is the key!

Shara-e-Mohabbat Mein Hai Ishrat-e-Manzil Haraam
Shorish-e-Toofan Halal, Lazzat-e-Sahil Haraam

The luxury of destination is forbidden in the religion of Love;
 Fighting the storms is permitted, but the comfort of the shore is forbidden;

Ishq Pe Bijli Halal, Ishq Pe Hasil Haraam
Ilm Hai Ibn-Ul-Kitab, Ishq Umm-Ul-Kitab!

Lightning is permitted to Love, Harvest is forbidden.
 Knowledge is the child of the Book, Love is the mother of the Book.

    Allama Iqbal may Allah SWT belss his soul in Jannah was a Sharah-e-Islam.
    He died with a great pain of muslim Ummah in his heart-Love him with alot of prayers for him.
    and thank you my dear brother, who high lighted his work. may Allah SWT reward you for all the good deeds you do in your life. Ameen.
