گریز آخر ز عقل ذوفنون کرد
English title: At last from artful reason he has freed
گریز آخر ز عقل ذوفنون کرددل خود کام را از عشق خون کرد
At last from subtle reason he has fled; His self-willed heart knew passion, and it bled;
بالاخر اقبال نے عقل چالاک کو چھوڑ دیا —
اور اپنے خود سر دل کو عشق سے رام کیا۔
ز اقبال فلک پیما چہ پرسیحکیم نکتہ دان ما جنون کرد
What askest thou of Iqbal in the clouds? Our wise philosopher has lost his head.
اقبال فلک پیما کے بارے میں کیا پوچھتا ہے —
ہمارے اس نکتہ دان فلسفی نے (عقل کی نہیں بلکہ) جنون کی باتیں کی ہیں ۔
