(Bang-e-Dra-050) Gulzar-e-Hast-o-Bood Na Beganawar Dekh

Gulzar-e-Hast-o-Bood Na Beganawar Dekh
Hai Dekhne Ki Cheez Isse Bar Bar Dekh

Do not look at the garden of existence like a stranger
It is a thing worth looking at, look at it repeatedly

Aya Hai Tu Jahan Mein Msal-e-Sharar Dekh
Dam De Na Jaye Hasti-e-Na-Paidar Dekh

You have come into the world like a spark, beware
Lest your ephemeral life may end suddenly, beware

Mana Ke Teri Deed Ke Qabil Nahin Hun Main
Tu Mera Shauq Dekh, Mera Intizar Dekh

Granted that I am not worthy of your Sight
You should look at my zeal, and look at my perseverance

Kholi Hain Zauq-e-Deed Ne Ankhain Teri Agar
Har Reh Guzar Mein Naqsh-e-Kaf-e-Paye Yaar Dekh

If your eyes have been opened by the longing for Sight
Look for the foot prints of the Beloved in every lane

    Iqbal was a wonderful poet. But partition, unfortunately, deprived us of his inimitable style and talent. He was the unforgettable author of "Saare Jahan se Achha hindustan hamara".
