That the contract which had been given to the

desert-dwelles will be restored

energetically:

The lion who had risen up out of the desert and

had toppled the Roman Empire is

As I am told by the heavenly attendants, going to get up

once more (from his sleeps.)

You the dwelles of the West, ought to realize that

the universe of God is not a shop (of yours).

Your envisioned immaculate gold is going to lose it

standard quality (as settled by you).

Your civilization will confer suicide with its

own blades."

I had twenty-five years prior seen through the disadvantages of this development and accordingly had made a few predictions. They had been conveyed by my tongue albeit I didn't exactly comprehend them. This happened in 1907..... Following six or seven years, my predictions worked out as expected, word by word.

Shikwa by Allama Iqbal

شکوہ

 

کیوں زیاں کاربنوں، سودفراموش رہوں

فکر فرد نہ کروں محو دوش رہوں

 

نالے بلبل کے سنوں اور ہمہ تن گوش رہوں

ہمنوا میں بھی کوئی گل ہوں کہ خاموش رہوں

 

جرات آموزمری تاب سخن ہے مجھ کو

شکوہ اللہ سے خاکم بدہن ہے مجھ کو

 

ہے بجا شیوہ تسلیم میں مشہور ہیں ہم

قصہ درد سناتے ہیں کہ مجبور ہیں ہم

 

ساز خاموش ہیں فریاد سے معمور ہیں ھم

نالہ آتا ہے اگر لب پہ تو معذور ہیں ہم

 

اے خدا! شکوہ ارباب وفا بھی سن لے

خوگر حمد تھوڑا سا گلا بھی سن لے

 

تھی تو موجود ازل سے ہی تری ذات قدیم

پھول تھا زیب چمن پر نہ پریشان تھی شمیم

 

شرط انصاف ہے اے صاحب الطاف عمیم

بوئےگل پھیلتی کس طرح جو ہوتی نہ نسیم

 

ہم کو جمعیت خاطر یہ پریشانی تھی

ورنہ امت ترے محبوب کی دیوانی تھی؟

 

ھم سے پہلے تھا عجب تیرے جہاں کا منظر

کہیـں مسجود تھے پتھر، کہیں معبود شجر

Western Influence On Iqbal's Thought

Western Influence On Iqbal's Thought

It happens just a couple times in a century, and maybe even less, that an awesome identity either from east or from west tries to join more attributes peculiarities of both eastern and western societies. One of these extraordinary identities in our century is the late Muhammad Iqbal, the otherworldly father of Pakistan, a man whose work has intrigued western researchers more than that of whatever other contemporary oriental mastermind. In him "East and West met however it would be an excessive amount to say that they were united". (R.A. Nicholson)

Iqbal was conceived in 1876 in the Punjab, in what is currently Pakistan, Where, then, first endeavors had been made  yo accommodate Islamic thought with western civilization. He had the colossal fortunes to

discover an instructor like a popular Orientalist Sir Thomas Arnold Who presented him in both eastern and western thought, and provided for him who had as of now demonstrated his expertise as a writer in his local tongue-Urdu-the chance of completing his study in Europe.

Hegelian Thought

Iqbal whose first melodious verse contains entomb alia interpretations from Longfellow, Emerson, and  Tennyson, got to be, in 1905, an understudy of the Hegelian scholar Mc Taggart in Cambridge, and got to be profoundly submerged in Hegelian thought which he. by the by,, censured in the later time of his life as the produce of fake reasonment-Hegel is portrayed in the Payam e Mahrik(1923) as "a hen that by dint of anthusiasm lays eggs without help from the rooster."

In the wake of completing his studies in England Iqbal went to Munich where he graduated with a postulation on the "Improvement of Metaphysics in Persia", in 1908, a work which indicates not just profound information of critical, and in the west heretofore practically obscure Muslim masterminds additionally at surprising knowledge into Christian philosophy from Thomas Aquinas up to Harnack, and into the issues of the historical backdrop of Religions.

It must be admitted that Iqbal, after the colossal otherworldly change which occurred after 1908, finally in 1911,  changed his perspective in numerous a point  totally; yet the robust learning of European thought was helpful for him in all his later poetical and philosophical work.

In the Asrar-i-Khudi  (Secrets of the self) which showed up in 1915 and created a huge stun  among devout and pseudo-enchantment, Iqbal shows shockingly  his logic of the conscience, of the self which is not, as pantheistic otherworldliness needs , to be stifled in the sea of total being, however is to be produced by method for affection, working and anxious striving . In the lovely Persian couplets of this act and also in his taking after Persian and Urdu verse, until the last truth, communicated in the Javed Nama by the soul of Tolstoy, has brought on the bitterest assaults of the writer logician.

Reliable To Quran

He is reliable to the basically progressive and totally against established soul of Quran which provided for him the bravery to open new courses for the improvement of Islam which had affected by even the philosophical soul, overlooked additionally the expression of Quran (Sura 13 : Verse 1) "Verily ALLAH does not change th fate of individuals unless it changes itself."

Iqbal has utilized all the nurturing powers he found in east and west for changing the  predetermination of his kin as just he sings in the Payam-e-Mashrik:

Open thine eyes , if thou hast eyes to see !

Life is building of the world to be !

 Hegelian Thought
Iqbal whose first lyrical poetry contains inter alia translations from Longfellow, Emerson, and  Tennyson, became, in 1905, a student of the Hegelian philosopher Mc Taggart in Cambridge, and became deeply submerged in Hegelian thought which he. nevertheless,, criticized in the later period of his life as the produce of artificial reasonment-Hegel is characterized in the Payam e Mahrik(1923) as "a hen that by dint of anthusiasm lays eggs without assistance from the cock."

After finishing his studies in England Iqbal went to Munich where he graduated with a thesis on the "Development of Metaphysics in Persia", in 1908, a work which shows not only deep knowledge of important, and in the west hitherto almost unknown Muslim thinkers but also at astonishing insight into Christian theology from Thomas Aquinas up to Harnack, as well as into the problems of the history of Religions.
It must be confessed that Iqbal, after the great spiritual conversion which took place after 1908, at last in 1911,  changed his view in many a point  completely; but the solid knowledge of European thought was useful for him in all his later poetical and philosophical work.
In the Asrar-i-Khudi  (Secrets of the self) which appeared in 1915 and caused an immense shock  among pious and pseudo-mystics, Iqbal shows for the first time  his philosophy of the ego, of the self which is not, as pantheistic mysticism wants , to be extinguished in the ocean of absolute being, but is to be developed by means of love, working and restless striving . In the beautiful Persian couplets of this work as well as in his following Persian and Urdu poetry, until the last fact, expressed in the Javed Nama by the spirit of Tolstoy, has caused the bitterest attacks of the poet-philosopher.

                              Faithful To Quran

He is faithful to the essentially dynamic and completely anti-classical spirit of Quran which gave him the courage to open new ways for the development of Islam which had under the influence of even the philosophical spirit, forgotten also the word of Quran (Sura 13 : Verse 1) "Verily ALLAH does not change th destiny of people unless it changes itself." 

Iqbal has used all the life-giving forces he found in east and west for changing the  destiny of his people as just he sings in the Payam-e-Mashrik:
Open thine eyes , if thou hast eyes to see !
Life is building of the world to be ! - See more at: http://allamaiqbalforus.blogspot.com/2012/05/western-influence-on-iqbals-thought.html#sthash.3zpwVj0U.dpuf
