aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
means
mirī nigāh meñ vo riñd hī nahīñ saaqī
jo hoshiyārī o mastī meñ imtiyāz kare
In my eyes, that person isn’t truly a reveler at all, O cupbearer.
Who draws a line between being sober and being intoxicated.
meri nigah mein wo rind hi nahin saqi
jo hoshiyari o masti mein imtiyaz kare
In my eyes, that person isn’t truly a reveler at all, O cupbearer.
Who draws a line between being sober and being intoxicated.
from the Ghazal "kushada dast-e-karam jab wo be-niyaz kare" by Allama Iqbal
Prominent poet and journalist, also the editor of 'Zamindaar', an important newspaper of his times. Also authored 'Zikr-e-Iqbal' and 'Muslim Sahaafat Hindustan Mein'.
