Sitaron Se Aage Jahan Aur Bhi Hain

सितारों से आगे जहाँ और भी हैं।(There are more worlds ahead of the stars)- Allama Iqbal



On 15th May 2013 UPA-2 completed its four years,its nine years for Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. In celebrating this event, after dinner party he spoke to journalists and quoted this couplet of Mohammad Iqbal,"Sitaron se aage jahan aur bhi hain" which made me to share complete ghazal here which inspires to not limit yourself and work hard to achieve your goals. For more on this,"Inside Sitaron Se Aage"

सितारों से आगे जहाँ और भी हैं,
अभी इश्क के इम्तिहाँ और भी हैं।
There are more worlds ahead of the stars,
There are still more tests in love to surpass.

तही ज़िन्दगी से नहीं ये फ़जायें,
यहाँ सैकड़ों कारवाँ और भी हैं।
This environment is not because of this life,
There are hundreds more caravan to rife.

कनाअत न कर आलम-ऐ-रंग-ओ-बू पर,
चमन और भी,आशियाँ और भी हैं।
Don't be satisfied with the world of color and scent,
There are other gardens,other dwellings for content. 

अगर खो गया एक नशेमन तो क्या ग़म,
मक़ामात-ऐ-आह-औ-फुगाँ और भी हैं।
What if a home is lost,why to be sad,
There are more places to lament and feel bad. 

तू शाही है परवाज़ है काम तेरा,
तेरे सामने आसमां और भी हैं।
You are a falcon,your task is to fly,
Before you there are to cover more sky.

इसी रोज़-औ-शब में उलझ कर न रह जा,
के तेरे ज़मीं-औ-मकाँ और भी हैं।
Don't remain entangled in this circle of day and night,
There are more places and destinations for your sight.

गए दिन के तन्हा था मै अंजुमन में,
यहाँ अब मेरे राज़दां और भी हैं।
Gone are the days when I was alone in the gathering,
Now here are more secret-sharers in my surrounding.
