A tribute to Dr. Allama Iqbal

( On Yaume Iqbal & Yaume Urdu, November, 9 )

Oh the great soul of Dr. Iqbal!
I salute the divinity of your vision;
That always echoed an inspired voice,
I find no words to explain your horizon.

Your verses give me a miraculous thought,
I feel, as from the skies, is coming the sound;
Your mind and heart were full of sacred passion,
In you, the fragrance of my Prophet , I have found.

I think, you must be so happy to know,
On every occasion, we mention your name;
But to follow your message is not easy for us,
We only cram it : It is our disgrace and shame.
