Aah Yeh Marg e Dawaam, Aah Yeh Razme Hayat: Iqbal Poem painted by Sadequain

Aah Yeh Marg e Dawaam, Aah Yeh Razme Hayat
Khatam Bhee Ho Gi Kabhi Kashmakash e Kainat !

Ah, such eternal demise, Ah, such struggle of Life
Will such Dilemma of life ever end?

Aqal Ko Miltee Naheen Apnay Butto’n Say Nijat
Aarif o Aami, Tamaam Bandayay Laat o Manaat

Rationale cannot find get rid of its idols
Lords or Commoners, all are worshipers of Laat and Manaat [idol of ancient times]

Khuwaar Huvaa Kisa Qader Adam e Yazdaan Sifaat
Qalb o Nazer Par Garaan Aisay Jahaan Kaa Sibaat

Adam, the bearer of divine characteristics, has lost his dignity & pride
The existence and continuation of such world hurts the heart and vision

Kyun Nahin Hoti Sehar Hazrat-E-Insan Ki Raat?
Why doesn’t Man’s [pessimistic] dusk change into dawn [of hope]?
