Jibreel-O-Iblees/ Iblis - جبریل و ابلیس translated as (Gabriel and Satan) is a beautiful and classical Urdu poem written by Allama Iqbal. The poem is counted mong the best poems of Urdu language. The poem Jibreel-O-Iblees - جبریل و ابلیس (Gabriel and Satan) by Allama Iqbal is a dialogue between Jibreel (Gabriel) and Iblees (Satan). In this poem Allama Iqbal presented Iblees (Satan) as an anti hero where we see all his faults and flaws but he was presented in a way that we do not hate him but rather we envy his determination. 

The poem Jibreel-O-Iblees - جبریل و ابلیس (Gabriel and Satan) gave a new and unique perspective to the story of Adam and Iblees . It gives us a new angle to view and think about the thoughts of Iblees. We can see how determined Iblees is. How firm his belief are. We can see how high Allama Iqbal's imagination was. How great his choice of words and his writing style was. I really hope you would enjoy this episode. If you really love Urdu Adab (Urdu literature), please do subscribe.

Lyrics of the poem : (jibrail o iblis) In English  

                        jibra.īl

hamdam-e-dairīna kaisā hai jahān-e-rañg-o-bū

                         iblīs

soz-o-sāz o dard o daaġh o justujū o aarzū

                        jibra.īl

har ghaḌī aflāk par rahtī hai terī guftugū

kyā nahīñ mumkin ki terā chaak dāman ho rafū

                           iblīs

aah ai jibrīl tū vāqif nahīñ is raaz se

kar gayā sarmast mujh ko TuuT kar merā subū

ab yahāñ merī guzar mumkin nahīñ mumkin nahīñ

kis qadar ḳhāmosh hai ye ālam-e-be-Kāḳh-o-kū

jis kī naumīdī se ho soz-e-darūn-e-kā.enāt

us ke haq meñ taqnatū achchhā hai yā lā-taqnatū

                           jibra.īl

kho diye inkār se tū ne maqāmāt-e-buland

chashm-e-yazdāñ meñ farishtoñ kī rahī kyā aabrū

                                iblīs

hai mirī jur.at se musht-e-ḳhāk meñ zauq-e-numū

mere fitne jāma-e-aql-o-ḳhirad kā tār-o-pū

dekhtā hai tū faqat sāhil se razm-e-ḳhair-o-shar

kaun tūfāñ ke tamāñche khā rahā hai maiñ ki tū

ḳhizr bhī be-dast-o-pā ilyās bhī be-dast-o-pā

mere tūfāñ yam-ba-yam dariyā-ba-dariyā jū-ba-jū

gar kabhī ḳhalvat mayassar ho to pūchh allāh se

qissa-e-ādam ko rañgīñ kar gayā kis kā lahū

maiñ khaTaktā huuñ dil-e-yazdāñ meñ kāñTe kī tarah

tū faqat allāh-hū allāh-hū allāh-hū

Hi in this episode I have recited a beautiful poem composed by the famous Urdu poet Faiz Ahmad Faiz. Lyricsare ,......................................کب یاد میں تیرا ساتھ نہیں کب ہات میں تیرا ہات نہیں صد شکر کہ اپنی راتوں میں اب ہجر کی کوئی رات نہیں مشکل ہیں اگر حالات وہاں دل بیچ آئیں جاں دے آئیں دل والو کوچۂ جاناں میں کیا ایسے بھی حالات نہیں جس دھج سے کوئی مقتل میں گیا وہ شان سلامت رہتی ہے یہ جان تو آنی جانی ہے اس جاں کی تو کوئی بات نہیں میدان وفا دربار نہیں یاں نام و نسب کی پوچھ کہاں عاشق تو کسی کا نام نہیں کچھ عشق کسی کی ذات نہیں گر بازی عشق کی بازی ہے جو چاہو لگا دو ڈر کیسا گر جیت گئے تو کیا کہنا ہارے بھی تو بازی مات نہیں
