Modern Sufi-2

A week ago, I did a post on modern sufi. Somebody left a shair of Allama Iqbal on comment section and I think, this one shair describe what I really wanted to say

Khuda kay Aashiq to haiN hazarooN,
banoN main phirtay haiN, maaray maaray
MaiN uss ka bunda banooN ga

jiss ko Khuda kay bundoN say payar hoga

{God has thousands of his (human) lovers
roaming astray in jungles (to seek him)
I will be the disciple of one,
who would have love for humans }

Iqbal is always worth quoting
Let me rewrite it after consulting "Bang-e-draa"
Khuda kay ASHIQ to hain hazaon, banon main phirtay hain maaray maaray
Main Uska banda banonga jisko khuda kay bandon say piyar hoga

Also see my comment on poets on today's Jumáh Journal

Thanks for correcting. Plz. also tell me, in which nazam, I can find this sher...I do have bange dara but its huge to find on shair.

Baang-e-dara meray bhai ten hissoN maiN hay. Yeh nazm doosray hissay ki akhri nazm hay
"Zamana Aya hay bay hijabi ka áam deedar-e-yar hoga"
