(Bang-e-Dra-043) Naya Shiwala

Naya Shiwala A New Altar

Sach Keh Doon Ae Barhman! Gar Tu Bura Na Mane Tere Sanam Kadon Ke Butt Ho Gye Purane Ill tell you truth, oh Brahmin, if I may make so bold! These idols in your templesthese idols have grown old,

Apnon Se Bair Rakhna Tu Ne Button Se Se Sikha Jang-o-Jadal Sikhaya Waaiz Ko Bhi Khuda Ne To hate your fellowmortals is all they teach you, while Our God too sets his preachers to scold and to revile;

Tang Aa Ke Main Ne Akhir Dair-o-Haram Ko Chora Waaiz Ka Waaz Chora, Chore Tere Fasane Sickened, from both your temple and our shrines I have run,

Allama Iqbal Poetry : (Bang-e-Dra-043) Naya Shiwala

Alike our preachers sermons and your fond myths I shun.

Pathar Ki Mootraton Mein Samjha Hai Tu Khuda Hai Khak-e-Watan Ka Mujh Ko Har Zarra Devta In every graven image you fancied God: I see in each speck of my countrys poor dust, divinity.

Aa, Ghairiat Ke Parde Ek Baar Phir Utha Dain Bichron Ko Phir Mila Dain, Naqsh-e-Dooi Mita Dain Come, let us lift suspicions thick curtains once again, Unite once more the sundered, wipe clean divisions stain.

Sooni Pari Huwi Hai Muddat Se Dil Ki Basti Aa, Ek Naya Shiwala Iss Dais Mein Bana Dain Too long has lain deserted the hearts warm habitation Come, build here in our homeland an altars new foundation,

Dunya Ke Teerathon Se Ucha Huwa Apna Teerath Damaan-e-Asman Se Iss Ka Kalas Mila Dain And rise a spire more lofty than any of this globe, With high pinnacle touching the hem of heavens robe!

Allama Iqbal Poetry : (Bang-e-Dra-043) Naya Shiwala

Har Subah Uth Ke Gayen Mantar Woh Meethe Meethe Sare Pujariyon Ko Mai Peet Ki Pila Dain And there at every sunrise let our sweet chanting move The hearts of all who worship, pouring them wine of love:

Shakti Bhi, Shanti Bhi Bhagton Ke Geet Mein Hai Dharti Ke Basion Ki Mukti Pareet Mein Hai Firm strength, calm peace, shall blend in the hymns the votary sings For from love comes salvation to all earths living things.
