اخلاص (نظم)

Chapter Overview

Ikhlas (اخلاص) is a sublime Sufi poetic masterpiece originally composed in Pashto by the celebrated mystic philosopher Rahman Baba (رحمان بابا), masterfully translated into evocative Urdu verse by Professor Muhammad Taha Khan. In this spiritually elevating poem, the poet illuminates the indispensability of pure intentions (Ikhlas), moral integrity, and selfless love in divine devotion and human conduct.

Rahman Baba articulates that rituals, deeds, or worship conducted for ostentation (Riya) or worldly gain remain hollow and devoid of spiritual reward. Genuine peace and divine communion are attained only when every action stems from sincere love and purity of heart. The notes present comprehensive stanza-by-stanza Tashreeh that unpacks Sufi symbolism, philosophical depth, and metric harmony in alignment with Punjab Board exam patterns.
