Since love first made the breast an instrument Of fierce lamenting, by its flame my heart Was molten to a mirror, like a rose I pluck my breast apart, that I may hang This mirror in your sight.

More quotes by Muhammad Iqbal
Our bread and water are of one table: the progeny of Adam are as a single soul.
Muhammad Iqbal
We have strayed away from God, and He is in quest of us Like us, He is humble and is a prisoner of desire: He is hidden in every atom, and yet is a stranger to us: He is revealed in the moonlight, and in the embrace of houses.
Muhammad Iqbal
The spirit of philosophy is one of free inquiry. It suspects all authority. Its function is to trace the uncritical assumptions of human thought to their hiding places, and in this pursuit it may finally end in denial or a frank admission of the incapacity of pure reason to reach the ultimate reality.
Muhammad Iqbal
Plants and minerals are bound to predestination. The faithful is only bound to the Divine orders.
Muhammad Iqbal
The ultimate aim of the ego is not to see something, but to be something.
Muhammad Iqbal
The alchemist of the West has turned stone into glass But my alchemy has transmuted glass into flint Pharaohs of today have stalked me in vain
Muhammad Iqbal
The standpoint of the man who relies on religious experience for capturing Reality must always remain individual and incommunicable.
Muhammad Iqbal
The revealed and mystic literature of mankind bears ample testimony to the fact that religious experience has been too enduring and dominant in the history of mankind to be rejected as mere illusion. There seems to be no reason, then, to accept the normal level of human experience as fact and reject its other levels as mystical and emotional.
Muhammad Iqbal
In the first period religious life appears as a form of discipline which the individual or a whole people must accept as an unconditional command without any rational understanding of the ultimate meaning and purpose of that command.
Muhammad Iqbal
Human intellect is natures attempt at self criticism
Muhammad Iqbal
The possessor of a sound heart puts to test his power by entering into big adventures.
Muhammad Iqbal
The wing of the Falcon brings to the king, the wing if the crow brings him to the cemetery.
Muhammad Iqbal
Thus passing through the infinite varieties of space we reach the Divine space which is absolutely free from all dimensions and constitutes the meeting point of all infinities.
Muhammad Iqbal
The man of Love follows the path of God-and shows affection to both the believer and the nonbe-liever.
Muhammad Iqbal
But only a brief moment is granted to the brave one breath or two, whose wage is the long nights of the grave.
Muhammad Iqbal
Democracy is a system where people are counted not weighed.
Muhammad Iqbal
That is why, according to this newer psychology, Christianity has already fulfilled its biological mission, and it is impossible for the modern man to understand its original significance.
Muhammad Iqbal
If faith is lost, there is no security and there is no life for him who does not adhere to religion.
Muhammad Iqbal
It is the mysterious touch of the ideal that animates and sustains the real, and through it alone we can discover and affirm the ideal.
Muhammad Iqbal
It is the nature of the self to manifest itself, In every atom slumbers the might of the self.
Muhammad Iqbal
