| Salaam to everyone. The following is a translation of (part of?) a poem by Allama Iqbal. I know there are a lot of Allama Iqbal fans on this board and I was wondering if anyone could help me with the following: 1. Is this the whole poem, or simple a couple of verses from it? 2. What is the title of the original poem in Urdu? Thanks, in advance The Ideal Woman Fret not thyself To calculate the profit and the loss, Being content to tread the well-worn path Our fathers went before. Be wary of Time's depredations, and to thy broad breast Gather thy children close; these meadow-chicks, Unfledged as yet to fly, have fallen far From their warm nest. High, high the carvings are That wrestle with thy soul; be conscious still And ever of thy model, Fatimah, So that thy branch may bear a new Hussein, Our garden blossom with the Golden Age. |

| It is taken from the 'The Mysteries of Selflessness', translation of Iqbal's Asrar-o-Ramuz by Aj Arberry. It is only part of a larger poem. Allama Iqbal is warning the Muslim Women to guard themselves from the conspiracies of Modern Civilization. He exhorts them to remain firm on the footsteps of Lady Fatimah (ra) and to bring up her children with the qualities of Hussein (ra). http://jaihoon.com/iqbal u're welcome (in advance) ;) |
