Allama Iqbal verses on Maulana Rumi
Allama Iqbal verses on Maulana Rumi and advice to Youth of South Asia
Maulana Rumi in words of Allama Iqbal
نہ اٹھا پھر کوئی رومی عجم سے لالہ زاروں سے
وہی آب و گل ایران ، ووہی تبریز ہے ساقی
نہیں ہے نا امید اقبال اپنی کشت ویران سے
ذرا نم ہو تو یہ مٹی بڑی زرخیز ہے ساقی
Another Rumi didn’t rise from the gardens of the East
Although the water, flowers of Persia remain same, same Tabraiz is the wine server
Yet Iqbal is not pessimistic of this dry and barren lands
The soil of East just need a little moisture to become such a fertile land
