پھر باد بہار آئي ، اقبال غزل خواں ہو
English title: THE SPRING BREEZE IS FLOWING AGAIN START SINGING, O IQBAL
The spring breeze is flowing again start singing, O Iqbal | If you are a bud be the flower, if a flower the garden become
You are a handful of dust , with the warmth of the components | Wander around, scatter about and wilderness in extent become
You belong to the essence of Love, you are invaluable | The purchasers are indigent, low priced in this country become
Why should your tunes be veiled in the guitar’s frets? | You are an ornamented song, evident to every ear become
O wise traveler! If in your path you encounter | The garden become dew, if wilderness the storm become
Indulgence is concealed in the love of opulence | If you aim at the destination, destroyer of opulence become
