'description':

  'text': 'The subject matter of this ghazal is a continuation of ghazal 10 in that it emphasizes the need for the Love of God to be selfless and complete. The poem adds another value of Islam, viz. that all actions of a Mu’min should be prompted only by the un-adulterated Love of God and should not have even the motive of thawab. Only that good deed is acceptable to God which is performed purely in pursuit of the Pleasure of God.'

    'notes':

      'meaning': 'Allusion to the story of Lailah and Majnun. Majnun gave up living in human habitations and started roaming about in the wilderness. The Lover of God is advised to abandon wilderness also. This is so because it is immaterial for a Lover of God whether he lives in habitations or in the wilderness as God is independent of space and time and is omni-present. The Lover will find Him anywhere and everywhere provided his Love is selfless and sincere.'

    'text': 'This is not business, this is ‘ibadat of God ! | O ignorant one, abandon the longing for reward also'
    'notes':
    - 'phrase': '‘ibadat'
      'meaning': '‘Ibadat. This is wrongly understood to mean "worship" and formal prayers and the latter are considered to be the climax of piety. This word is derived from the root ‘abd, which literally means a "slave" or "servant". In the Holy Qur’an ‘abd designates the nature, status and destiny of Man, that he is a slave of God and is neither Divine nor has any share in the Powers and Rights of God. According to this his destiny is ‘Abdiyat, ‘Ubudiyat, or bondage. He is required to be a perfect servant or "abd". In Persian and Urdu " ‘abdiyat" is more commonly used than ‘Ubudiyat. Bandah and bandaga are the Persian equivalents of ‘abd and ‘Ubudiyat respectively. ‘Ibadat really means obedience with absolute self-surrender and humility. It includes worship, reverence, and prayer but is really comprised of honesty and sincerity to God in all phases and departments of life. The second line of this verse means that only the Love of God should be the motive force for a Mu’min’s virtuous actions. It is not a trade in which one offers his merchandise and expects a reward as its price. Only that piety is acceptable to God which is performed without the desire for thawab.'

    'notes':
    - 'phrase': 'also'
      'meaning': 'It is not clear whether the proof is meant for the virtues of abstention from drinking or that of drinking. In either case the verse shows strong doubts in the mind of ‘Allamah Iqbal about the sincerity of the half-baked ‘Ulama. If the former interpretation is taken it means that unless the preacher himself gives up drinking his preaching cannot be taken as serious. This would mean that such ‘Ulama do not practice what they preach. If the latter interpretation is accepted it would mean that if such an ‘alim supports drinking the ‘Allamah would doubt his sincerity and would give up drinking.'
