مسلم سے ایک روز یہ اقبال نے کہادیوان جزو و کل میں ہے تیرا وجود فرد

Muslim Se Aik Roz Ye Iqbal Ne KahaDiwan-e-Juzw-o-Kul Mein Hai Tera Wujood Fard

One day Iqbal said to the Muslim“Your existence is unique in the universe

تیرے سرود رفتہ کے نغمے علوم نوتہذیب تیرے قافلہ ہائے کہن کی گرد

Tere Surood-e-Rafta Ke Nagme Uloom-e-NauTehzeeb Tere Qafla Haye Kuhan Ki Gard

The tunes of your old songs are the basis of new knowledgeCivilization is the dust of your old caravans

پتھر ہے اس کے واسطے موج نسیم بھینازک بہت ہے آئنہ آبروئے مرد

Pathar Hai Iss Ke Waste Mouj-e-Naseem BhiNazuk Bohat Hai Aaeena-e-Aabru-e-Mard

Even the zephyr’s current is like stone to itVery delicate is the mirror of Man’s honor

مردان کار، ڈھونڈ کے اسباب حادثاتکرتے ہیں چارئہ ستم چرخ لاجورد

Mardan-e-Kaar, Dhoond Ke Asbab-e-HadsaatKarte Hain Charah-e-Sitam-e-Charakh-e-La-Joward

The men of action by discovering the causes of phenomenaFind the cure for the azure-colored sky’s cruelties

پوچھ ان سے جو چمن کے ہیں دیرنیہ رازدارکیونکر ہوئی خزاں ترے گلشن سے ہم نبرد

Puch Un Se Jo Chaman Ke Hain Dairina RaazdaarKyunkar Huwi Khazan Tere Gulshan Se Hum Nabard

Ask them who are the old secret keepers of the gardenHow the autumn became engaged in fight with your garden”

مسلم مرے کلام سے بے تاب ہوگیاغماز ہوگئی غم پنہاں کی آہ سرد

Muslim Mere Kalam Se Betaab Ho GyaGhamaz Ho Gyi Gham-e-Pinhan Ki Aah-e-Sard

The Muslim became restless with my conversationThe sad sigh became betrayer of the inner sorrow

کہنے لگا کہ دیکھ تو کیفیت خزاںاوراق ہو گئے شجر زندگی کے زرد

Kehne Laga Ke Dekh To Kaifiat-e-KhazanAuraq Ho Gye Shajar-e-Zindagi Ke Zard

He said “Just look at the autumn’s conditionThe leaves of the tree of life have become pale

خاموش ہو گئے چمنستاں کے رازدارسرمایہ گداز تھی جن کی نوائے درد

Khamosh Ho Gye Chamanistan Ke RaazdaarSarmaya-e-Gudaz Thi Jin Ki Nawaye Dard

Those garden’s secret keepers became silentWhose tune of pathos was the means of mellowness

شبلی کو رو رہے تھے ابھی اہل گلستاںحالی بھی ہوگیا سوئے فردوس رہ نورد

Shibli Ko Ro Rahe The Abhi Ahl-e-GulistanHaali Bhi Ho Gya Sooye Fardous Rah Naward

The garden’s inhabitants were still mourning ShiblaWhen Hala also became a traveler towards Paradise

اکنوں کرا دماغ کہ پرسد زباغباں ''''بلبل چہ گفت و گل چہ شنید و صبا چہ کرد

“Aknon Kra Damagh Ke Pursad Za BaghbanBulbul Che Guft-o-Gul Che Shuneed-o-Saba Che Kard”

“Still he is a fool who is asking the gardenerWhat did nightingale say, what did rose hear, what did zephyr do ?”
