The Man ( Iqbal's Insan )

                                                      The Man

                                     What a strange injustice of nature it is!

                                     It made the man seeker of secret,
                                     It hid the secret from his look,

                                     He is keen to develop the sense of knowing,
                                     The secret of life is not unfolding,

                                     Surprise is beginning! Surprise is end!
                                     In the world there nothing else in the end!

                                     Waves of the river are moving fast,
                                     River is flowing towards the ocean,

                                     Wind is causing the clouds to fly,
                                     It is carrying them lifting on the shoulders,

                                     Stars are constrained by divine decree,
                                     They are chained in the gaol of heaven,

                                     The sun, that early riser and saint,
                                     Bearer of the message of awakening,

                                      Hiding behind the hills of west,
                                      Takes sips from wine-cup of twilight,

                                      Everything draws pleasure from existence,
                                      Is dead-drunk with the wine of prominence,

                                      Nobody is sympathiser of man,
                                      How bitter is the time of man.
