ہر چہ می بینی ز انوار حق استحکمت اشیا ز اسرار حق است

English translation

Whatever you see is the manifestation of God’s light; the knowledge of things is a part of God’s secrets.
(‘Knowledge of things’, hikmat-i-ashya, refers to the Qur’anic verse (ii. 31): ‘And He taught Adam all the names’. Iqbal regards knowledge of things as the basis of modern science. He says ‘…man is endowed with the faculty of naming things, that is to say, forming concepts of them. and forming concepts of them is capturing them. Thus the character of man’s knowledge is conceptual, and it is with the weapon of this conceptual knowledge that man approaches the observable aspects of Reality’ (Reconstruction).

Urdu translation

جو کچھ تو دیکھتا وہ حق تعالے کے انوار سے ہے (ان کی صفات کا مظہر ہے) ۔ اشیاۓ کائنات کی ماہیت جاننا گویا اسرار حق سے آگاہی حاصل کرنا ہے۔
