دیکھ! یثرب میں ہوا ناقہ لیلی بیکارقیس کو آرزوئے نو سے شناسا کر دیں

English translation

Look! The Lailah's she camel became useless in Yathrib; we should make Qais acquainted with the new Longing.
(With the advent of Islam old values in literature, including poetry, changed… Instead of Lailah and her she camel, God and Holy Prophet S.A.W. became the objects of Love and they were referred to metaphorically as Lailah. Allamah Iqbal has used this metaphor often.).
