Yeh Dair-e-Kuhan Kya Hai | یہ دیر کہن کیا ہے | Allama Iqbal | Bal-e-Jibril

Yeh Dair-e-Kuhan Kya Hai... a powerful ghazal by Allama Muhammad Iqbal from Bal-e-Jibril. یہ دیر کہن کیا ہے انبار خس و خاشاک مشکل ہے گزر اس میں بے نالۂ آتش ناک What is this old world but a heap of tinder and dry brushwood? Hard is the passage through it without a fire-charged cry. In this intense and thought-provoking ghazal, Allama Iqbal challenges the worn-out structures of the old world and celebrates the transformative power of passionate faith, fearless love, action and spiritual awakening. Iqbal distinguishes between the outward form of Muslim life and its inner driving force — Jazb-e-Muslimani — and presents true love as bold, uncompromising and capable of rising beyond convention. One of the ghazal’s most striking couplets declares: یا اپنا گریباں چاک یا دامنِ یزداں چاک Either my own collar shall be rent — or the hem of the Divine. The poem ultimately calls for a perception freed from inherited divisions and limiting colours of thought: کھویا گیا جو مطلب ہفتاد و دو ملت میں سمجھے گا نہ تو جب تک بے رنگ نہ ہو ادراک A lyrical presentation of the timeless poetry of Allama Muhammad Iqbal … Shair-e-Mashriq, Poet of the East.
