عالم نو
English title: NEW WORLD
زندہ دل سے نہيں پوشيدہ ضمير تقديرخواب ميں ديکھتا ہے عالم نو کي تصوير
Decrees of Fate are not concealed from man whose heart throbbing seems, he sees the image of new World in slumberous state, during dreams.
اور جب بانگ اذاں کرتي ہے بيدار اسےکرتا ہے خواب ميں ديکھي ہوئي دنيا تعمير
When Prayer Call at early morn, transports him to Morpheus' domain he tries to build the world beheld with utmost might and utmost main.
بدن اس تازہ جہاں کا ہے اسي کي کف خاکروح اس تازہ جہاں کي ہے اسي کي تکبير
The body of the dreamt or world is made from his handful clay: ‘God is Great’, his slogan shrill that can the role of soul for new world play.
