حرفی چند با امت عربیہ

علم و حکمت شرع و دین ، نظم اموراندرون سینہ دلہا ناصبور

English translation

Knowledge and science, Shari’ah and religion, administration of State; ever-dissatisfied hearts within the breast.
(These lines enunciate Iqbal’s basic position with regard to the relative value of reason and intuition. An individual must employ both; whenever one of these is ignored; most often it leads to a warped personality. In Javid Namah, he says: ‘When love is companioned by intelligence; it has the power to design another world. Then rise and draw design of a new world, mingle love with intelligence’.

Translated by Bashir Ahmad Dar

Urdu translation

علم و حکمت، شرع و دین، معاملات کا انتظام، سینوں کے اندر دلوں کی ناصبوری۔
