La ilaha illallah

Allama Muhammad Iqbal · Zarb-e-Kalim

Pas manzar

“Zarb-e-Kalim” April 1936 mein chhapi³. Yeh nazm is ke hisse “Islam aur Musalman” mein hai¹². Har sher kalima-e-tauheed ke pehle hisse “La ilaha illallah” par khatam hota hai, aur shair kehta hai ke yehi kalima khudi ka chhupa hua raaz hai: maal o daulat, rishte aur zamane ke but sab wahm hain, asal haqiqat ek Allah ki zaat hai.

Kalam

Khudi ka sirr-e-nihan la ilaha illallahKhudi hai taigh-e-fasan la ilaha illallah

Yeh daur apne Ibrahim ki talash mein haiSanam kada hai jahan la ilaha illallah

Kya hai tu ne mata-e-ghurur ka soudaFareb-e-sood o ziyan la ilaha illallah

Yeh maal o daulat-e-duniya yeh rishta o paiwandButan-e-wahm o guman la ilaha illallah

Khirad hui hai zaman o makan ki zunnariNa hai zaman na makan la ilaha illallah

Yeh naghma fasl-e-gul o lala ka nahin pabandBahar ho ke khizan la ilaha illallah

Agarche but hain jamaat ki aastinon meinMujhe hai hukm-e-azan la ilaha illallah
