Of Man and God
Original poem in my Maternal Grandfather’s native language, Urdu, from Lahore in India’s Northwest Punjab in the days of the British Raj, and translated into English by me while resident in Calcutta, India.
KHUDA AUR INSAN
Insan aur khuda ki purani kahaniyan
Hain irtaqa’e nav’i bashar ki nishaniyan
Joon joon chiragh-i-‘ilm ki barhti hai roshni
Pahchanta hai apni haqiqat ko admi
– LAHORE
OF MAN AND GOD
Of Man and God there are
Tales of Old
That Signs of Mankind’s
Ascent unfold:
As Light from the Lamp of
Knowledge grows
So Man the Truth of his
Being knows.
* Mirza Ziauddin Akmal
