Similar pathos of a few shayaris

 I noticed some similarities in few Urdu shayaris (on ishq/love) that I found very intriguing.  The first pair are from the same poet (Allama Iqbal) but are separate poetries. The second one is from two different poets (one a poet, another a pious scholar).

The pathos in both is so similar and beautiful, hence I thought of sharing them here:


1.

"Ishq teri intehaa, ishq meri intehaa,

Tu bhi abhi na-tamaam, main bhi abhi na-tamaam…"

-Allama Iqbal

 

 

2.

“Tere Ishq Ki Intehaa Chahta Hoon

Meri Saadgi Dekh Kya Chahta Hoon

 

Ye Jannat Mubarik Rahe Zahidon Ko

Ke Mein Aap Ka Samna Chahta Hoon”

 -Allama Iqbal 

Allama Iqbal Poetry کلام علامہ محمد اقبال: (Bang-e-Dra-059) Tere Ishq Ki Intaha Chahta Hun



The second set of similar pathos of the two poetries:


1.

“Chalne ka hausla nahin, rukna muhaal kar diya,

Ishq ke is safar ne to mujhko nidhaal kar diya."

-Parveen Shakir

 

 

2.

“muhabbat kya hai? dil ka dard se mamoor ho jana,

mata-e-jaan kisi ko saunp kar majboor ho jana.

qadam hain raah-e-ulfat mein to manzil ki hawas kesay?

yahan to ain manzil hai thakan se choor ho jana.”

-Mufti Taqi Usmani
