Ghazals* |
O zephyr! Convey my message to the one wrapped in blanket
The poor Ummah has lost both din and material resources |
The river bank gave this message to the restless wave
“Union with ocean is still far and you have already lost patience in the river” |
O Qais! Love’s honor is made durable with litter’s curtain
If litter is lost, glory, honor as well as Lailah is lost! |
Though the drop got pearl’s dignity by abandoning struggle
It lost taste for wandering and struggle in the river |
Though this voice has emerged from Iqbal’s lips its source is unknown
The assembly got hope’s message as well as became restless for activism |
