Allama Iqbal : The Poet of the East and His Timeless Quotes
Allama Iqbal (1877-1938): Not just the Poet, rather a philosopher, politician and inspiration for billions. He is one of the few recognized as Mufakkir-e-Pakistan(The Thinker Of Pakistan) and often regarded as Shair-i-Mashriq (Poet of East ) — his work has lived countless time, being nourishment to cultures across oceans.
Born in Sialkot, British India, he followed the teachings of Jalaluddin Rumi and his poetry covered spirituality,self realization and search for truth. Qureshi and her team had picked up the Radio Pakistan request for Rashid Minhas’s voice from some old audio recordings at home. Voice-overs were to be combined with footage they intended using in all their re-enactments.

کی محمد سے وفا تو نے تو ہم تیرے ہیں
یہ جہاں چیز ہے کیا لوح و قلم تیرے ہیں
سبق ملا ہے یہ معراج مصطفی سے مجھے
کہ عالم بشریت کی زد میں ہے گردوں
ستاروں سے آگے جہاں اور بھی ہیں
سبق ملا ہے یہ معراج مصطفی سے مجھے
ستارہ کیا مری تقدیر کی خبر دے گا
وہ خود فراخی افلاک میں ہے خوار و زبوں
سودا گری نہیں یہ عبادت خدا کی ہے
اے بے خبر جزا کی تمنا بھی چھوڑ دے
عروج آدم خاکی سے انجم سہمے جاتے ہیں
کہ یہ ٹوٹا ہوا تارا مہ کامل نہ بن جائے
عشق بھی ہو حجاب میں حسن بھی ہو حجاب میں
یا تو خود آشکار ہو یا مجھے آشکار کر
عطارؔ ہو رومیؔ ہو رازیؔ ہو غزالیؔ ہو
کچھ ہاتھ نہیں آتا بے آہ سحرگاہی
عقل کو تنقید سے فرصت نہیں
عشق پر اعمال کی بنیاد رکھ
عمل سے زندگی بنتی ہے جنت بھی جہنم بھی
یہ خاکی اپنی فطرت میں نہ نوری ہے نہ ناری ہے
وضع میں تم ہو نصاری تو تمدن میں ہنود
یہ مسلماں ہیں جنہیں دیکھ کر شرمائں یہو
بندگی کے عوض فردوس ملے
یہ بات مجھے منظور نہیں
اے طائر لاہوتی اس رزق سے موت اچھی
جس رزق سے آتی ہو پرواز میں کوتاہی
ہر اک مقام سے آگے گزر گیا مہ نو
کمال کس کو میسر ہوا ہے بے تگ و دو
ٹہنی پہ کسی شجر کی تنہا
بلبل تھا کوئی اداس بیٹھا
