| On the bough of a tree was seated A nightingale that was saddened Saying that- Over me the nght is past And in pecking day is lost! Towards their nest How will they (birds) reach When the shadow of dark Has fastened its glitch When heard this yell and wail Of the nigthingale Said the glowworm In a voice so calm With my heart and soul To you I am of avail So what if I am An insect so little? The night is dark Why worry then? All through your route I will enlighten! A torch has Allah given me A radiant lamp has HE made me Noble are those ones indeed Whom others find while in need! - JAIHOON :) Thanx se7en for reminding me of this poem from bank-e-dara collection of Iqbal. i had almost forgotten this sweet poem which I had read in the earlier days of my experince with Urdu. 'I think' Iqbal has himself translated this from a poet called 'Copper'. :) probably this was originally written in some western language. Anyways, jazak Allah khair |
