More Shayari by Allama Iqbal
That God Himself asks you: what do you want, what do you create?❞
We are its nightingales, this is our garden grand.
Even in exile our hearts remain in our native land,
Know us to be where our hearts take their stand.❞
Stay true to selfhood, and this world will be yours to achieve.❞
Shake the walls and doors of the mansions of the wealthy world.
The field from which the farmer earns no bread —
Burn every wheat stalk in that field instead.❞
But in the human heart a million dwelling flows.
Somewhere desire, somewhere pain, somewhere separation's claim —
Who truly understands this world of heart, to them all fame.❞
Your cure lies in vision alone, above every creation.
The slave of self-interest has always earned humiliation,
True purpose is nothing but fearless aspiration.❞
