Allama Iqbal had immense respect for Hazrat Baba Guru Nanik, the founder of Sikhism. Guru Nanik’s fundamental teaching was oneness of God [Tawheed]. Born in Nankana Sahib in Pakistan in 1469, Guru Nanik adopted the mystic way and traveled widely, and came to have a large following because of his piety. Below poem is Allama’s beautiful tribute with English Translation to Baba Guru Nanik [Read Full Text at Link below] http://ift.tt/2nOZqK1 The nation didn’t bother about Buddha’s message They failed to realize the price of their unprecedented pearl. Pity them; they remain ignorant of voice of Truth They don’t know the sweetness of their own tree. Buddha revealed the ultimate truth of life However, Hind was proud of its illusionary fancies It was not gathering which benefits of light of truth The rain of spiritual blessings happened, but the land was not ready for it. Alas! For the low-caste, Hindustan had became a land of despairs It had become blind to the sorrows of humanity The Brahmin were still intoxicated with wine of pride The light of Buddha is shining in the halls of foreigners [The West] After many ages, the house of idols became lightened Within Azar house, the light of Hazrat Ibrahim begins to shine Lo! Again rises the voice of Tawheed [Monotheism] from lands of Punjab A perfect man wakes up Hind from their dreams of ignorance. #allamaiqbal
