mann ki daulat haath aatee hai tou phir jaatee nahin
tann ki daulat chhaoo[n] hai aata hai dhann, jata hai dhann

the wealth of soul is never lost.
the wealth of body, is like a shade; money never stays.

mann ki dunia mein na paya mein ney afrangee ka raaj
mann ki dunia mein na dekhey mein ney sheikh-o-Berhaman

in the world of soul, I dint find any British rule
in the world of soul, I dint see any Sheikh and Brahmin.
(The soul’s world has no place for tyrants & subjects, for clash between the so-called nobles & humbles; no wealth, no power. the only standard of greatness; humanity)

paani paani ker gayee mujh ko qalander ki yeh baat
paani paani ker gayee mujh ko qalander ki yeh baat

qalander embarrased me by saying:
incline to a stranger; you lose your soul, you lose your body.
(lose yourself, become his slave)

qalander= The dauntless, the free thinker.
jhuka=bowed, submitted, inclined. ghair=the outsider, the third person, unrelated person, the stranger, one who does not know you.

Iqbal, now he was one amazing human. In his last two years he read nothing but the Quran, and commented "I have wasted my time on all worldy knowledge, I should have read the Quran earlier"
In Iqbals poetry one can find deep wisdom. On a lighter note, flick, you seem to be pretty busy on the blog :D Niceeeeeee!
Really great picture. Seems to say a lot.
A very nice blog but I have not been able to figur out who is the person behind this. Care to tell.
