"ستاروں سے آگے جہاں اور بھی ہیں
ابھی عشق کے امتحاں اور بھی ہیں
تہی، زندگی سے نہیں یہ فضائیں
یہاں سینکڑوں کارواں اور بھی ہیں
قناعت نہ کر عالمِ رنگ و بُو پر
چمن اور بھی آشیاں اور بھی ہیں
اگر کھو گیا اک نشیمن تو کیا غم
مقاماتِ آہ و فغاں اور بھی ہیں
تو شاہیں ہے، پرواز ہے کام تیرا
ترے سامنے آسماں اور بھی ہیں
اسی روز و شب میں اُلجھ کر نہ رہ جا
کہ تیرے زمان و مکاں اور بھی ہیں
گئے دن کہ تنہا تھا مَیں انجمن میں
یہاں اب مِرے رازداں اور بھی ہیں" ― علامہ محمد اقبال
"Other worlds exist beyond the stars,
More tests of heart are still to come.
This vast space does not lack life,
Hundreds of other caravans are here.
Do not be content with the world of color and smell,
Other gardens there are, other nests, too.
What is the worry if one nest is lost?
There are other places to sigh and cry for!
You are an eagle, flight is your vocation:
You have other skies stretching out before you.
Do not let mere day and night ensnare you,
Other times and places belong to you.
Gone are the days when I was alone in company,
Many here are my companions now." ― Allama Iqbal
