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۔
