[Kshmendra Kaul]

Yasir

For now, part answer is in the Taraana that Iqbal specially wrote for me. Yes, Yes, for me.


Kshmendra Kaul



  nayaa shivaalaa
   
  saach kah duu.N ai brahman gar tuu buraa na maane
  tere sanam kado.n ke but ho gaye puraane
   
  apano.n se bair rakhanaa tuu ne buto.n se siikhaa
  jang-o-jadal sikhaayaa vaa_iz ko bhii Khudaa ne
   
  tang aake aaKhir mai.n ne dair-o-haram ko chho.Daa
  vaa_iz kaa vaaz chho.Daa, chho.De tere fasaane
  
patthar kii muurato.n me.n samajhaa hai tuu Khudaa hai
  Khaak-e-vatan kaa mujh ko har zarraa devataa hai
  
aa Gairat ke parde ik baar phir uThaa de.n
  bichha.Do.n ko phir milaa de.n naqsh-e-du_ii miTaa de.n
  
suunii pa.Dii hu_ii hai muddat se dil kii bastii
  aa ik nayaa shivaalaa is des me.n banaa de.n
  
duniyaa ke tiiratho.n se uu.Nchaa ho apanaa tiirath
  daamaan-e-aasmaa.N se is kaa kalas milaa de.n
  
har subah mil ke gaaye.n mantar vo miiThe miiThe
  saare pujaariyo.n ko mai piit kii pilaa de.n
  
shaktii bhii shaantii bhii bhakto.n ke giit me.n hai
  dharatii ke baasiyo.n kii muktii priit me.n hai

  kshemendra & rashneek :

since you both seem to have some regard for iqbal, i'm curious to know
how you have studied him. Is it in Urdu, or its transcription in
devanagri or english, and the persian ? Is this required reading of
some sort or individual initiative? altho i may incline towards
ghalibs poetry and admire iqbals prose more, I will be grateful if you
say something about this.

best
