Allama Iqbal’s Rubaiyat from Payam-e-Mashriq
Allama Iqbal’s Rubaiyat from Payam-e-Mashriq
بگو جبریل را از من پیامے
مرا آن پیکر نوری نداوند
ولے تاب و تب ما خاکیاں بین
بنوری ذوق مہجوری نداوند
Translation:
Convey my message to Gabriel (Arch-Angel)
That God has not granted me a body created with Noor (Divine Light) like yours
Yet, look at the passion and longing of us humans made of Clay
Which is driven by the separation & distance from our Creator (God)
