سر پہ سبزے کے کھڑے ہو کے کہا قم میں نےغنچہ گل کو دیا ذوق تبسم میں نے

English translation

I pronounced ‘Rise’* standing by the verdure's head; I conferred the taste for smile to the rose-bud.
* This is an allusion to the miracle of Ibn-e-Maryam (A.S.) in which, he used to raise the dead to life by pronouncing ‘Qum bi Idhnillah’ (Rise with the permission of God) Just as he used to raise the dead to life with the permission of God so does the rain from cloud raise the apparently dead vegetation to life with the permission of God: The Holy Qur’an 78:14-16.

Translated by Dr M.A.K. Khalil
