Muhammad Iqbal: Shakespeare (From Urdu)

Shakespeare
By Muhammad Iqbal
Translated by A.Z. Foreman

 The river's sweep is mirror to the morning's breaking light
The evening silence: mirror to the song of eventide
The rose's petal: mirror to the beauteous cheek of spring
The handsome server: mirror to the gorgeousness of wine.
Beauty is mirror to the truth and the heart mirrors beauty.
Your turned words' beauty mirrors all the heart of humankind.
Existence finds perfection in your star-bestriding thought.
Is your creation's splendor why the universe was wrought?

 The eye that wanted to behold you, when it looked to you,
Saw but the sun by its own brilliance hidden everywhere.
You kept yourself well hidden to the eyes of all the world
But with your own two eyes you saw the world laid clear and bare.
The watchful hand of Nature guards its secrets jealously.
Never again will it make one so versed in mystery.

The Original:

Rumi and Confucius

"Despite the fact that Confucius and Rumi were born in different periods and places, both were born at a time of social upheaval and political turmoil. Consequently, both thinkers tried to provide the means for their people to overcome the times of difficulty, first by understanding, cultivating, and realizing their human potentialities, and then by transforming themselves, their families, and their societies. Interestingly, Rumi and Confucius share more in common than most people would think and their teachings are still meaningful and relevant to the modern world. The wisdom of Confucius and Rumi provides today�s readers with spiritual resources to overcome the challenges of our time and to build bridges of understanding and dialogue among different cultures and civilizations. This paper examines the core ideas of these two great thinkers and provides anthropocosmic insights into their ideas on nature, family and music."
