حکمت کلیمی

حکمتش برتر ز عقل ذوفنوناز ضمیرش امتی آید برون

English translation

His wisdom is superior to artful Reason, his spirit gives birth to a people (ummah).
(It appears that, according to Iqbal, the hikmat (wisdom) of the Prophet is not qualitatively different from reason only it is much higher than the latter.)

Translated by Jamil Naqvi

Urdu translation

اس کی حکمت عقل چالاک سے برتر ہے، اس کے ضمیر سے (نئی) امت وجود میں آتی ہے۔
