ichhaDne ka irada hai to mujh se mashwara kar lo
mohabbat mein koi bhi faisla zati nahin hota
Afzal Khan
khincho na kamanon ko na talwar nikalo
jab top muqabil ho to aKHbar nikalo
neither bow and arrow nor a sword do you require
pubish a newspaper when faced with cannon fire
Akbar Allahabadi
apne man mein Dub kar pa ja suragh-e-zindagi
tu agar mera nahin banta na ban apna to ban
Allama Iqbal
nikal ja aql se aage ki ye nur
charagh-e-rah hai manzil nahin hai
Allama Iqbal
tamanna dard-e-dil ki ho to kar KHidmat faqiron ki
nahin milta ye gauhar baadshahon ke KHazinon mein
serve mendicants if you desire empathy to gain
treasuries of emperors do not this wealth contain
Allama Iqbal
watan ki fikr kar nadan musibat aane wali hai
teri barbaadiyon ke mashware hain aasmanon mein
fear for your country, trouble will soon arise
words of your destruction have been spoken by the skies
Allama Iqbal
faraghat se duniya mein har dam na baiTho
agar chahte ho faraghat ziyaada
