نصیبی بردم از تاب و تب او
English title: From his verve and heat I got a good share,
نصیبی بردم از تاب و تب اوشبم مانند روز از کوکب او
I bear a share of his fever and flame —
My night shines like day from his star's radiance.
میں نے رومی کی چمک اور تپش سے حصہ پایا —
اور اس کے ستارے نے میری رات کو دن کی طرح روشن کر دیا ۔
غزالی در بیابان حرم بینکہ ریزد خندہ شیر از لب او
Behold the gazelle (Iqbal) in the sanctuary's wilderness —
From whose lips curls the smile of a lion.
بیابانِ حرم میں اس ہرن (یعنی اقبال) کو دیکھ —
اس کے لبوں پر شیر کی سی مسکراہٹ ہے۔
