رگوں ميں وہ لہو باقي نہيں ہے
English title: That blood of pristine vigour is no more
رگوں ميں وہ لہو باقي نہيں ہےوہ دل ، وہ آرزو باقي نہيں ہے
نماز و روزہ و قرباني و حجيہ سب باقي ہيں ، تو باقي نہيں ہے
That blood of pristine vigour is no more; that yearning heart's power is no more: Prayer, fasting, haj, sacrifice survive,’ but in thee nature's old dower is no more.
