(Bal-e-Jibril-067) (یوں ہاتھ نہیں عطا وہ گوہر یک دانہ) Yun Hath Nahin Ata Vo Gohar-e-Yak Dana

(Bal-e-Jibril-067) Yun Hath Nahin Ata Vo Gohar-e-Yak Dana

Yun Hath Nahin Ata Woh Gohar-e-Yak Dana
Yak Rangi-o-Azadi Ae Himmat-e-Mardana!

O manly heart, the goal you seek is hard to gain like gem unique:
Get firm resolve and freedom true, If aim of life you wish to woo.

Ya Sanjar-o-Tughral Ka Aaeen-e-Jahangeeri
Ya Mard-e-Qalandar Ke Andaz-e-Mulookana!

Like Sanjar great and Tughral just to rule and conquer learn you must:
Or like a qalandar true and bold the wont and way of monarch hold.

Ya Hairat-e-Farabi Ya Taab-o-Tab-e-Rumi
Ya Fikr-e-Hakeemana Ya Jazb-e-Kaleemana!

Farabi’s thirst for lore beget, or Rumi’s fever great and fret:
You need a thinker’s lofty gaze, or Moses’ passion to amaze.

Ya Aqal Ki Roobahi Ya Ishq-e-Yadullahi
Ya Heela-e-Afrangi Ya Hamla-e-Tarkana!

Learn the wolfish tricks and guile, be like Franks in wit and wile:
Else own the passion of God’s Hand, or strike the foes like Tartar band.

Ya Shara-e-Musalmani Ya Dair Ki Darbani
Ya Naara-e-Mastana , Kaaba Ho Ke Butkhana!

Act on Muslim law and rites, or sit in fane like acolytes:
Be it the Shrine or temple high, ever like a drunkard cry.

Meeri Mein Faqeeri Mein, Shahi Mein Ghulami Mein
Kuch Kaam Nahin Banta Be-Jurrat-e-Rindana

In whatsoever state you be, a fettered thrall or monarch free:
No wonder ever can be wrought, with Love, if courage be not fraught.
