اینکہ شمع لالہ روشن کردہ انداز کنار جوی او آوردہ اند

English translation

The lamp of the tulip that has been lit up was brought from the banks of their river.
(Iqbal refers to the tremendous creative work done by the Arabs in the fields of science and art. All that is visible in this world, of civilization, of knowledge, art and skill, is the result of their creative activity. It was they who sowed the seed and we in the present age are witnessing and enjoying the fruit of their labours. Modern sciences and arts are a continuation of what the Arabs achieved in their days.)

Translated by Bashir Ahmad Dar

Urdu translation

یہ جو اس دور میں گل لالہ (تازہ علوم) کی شمع روشن کی گئی ہے یہ پودا ان ہی کی جوئے آب کے کنارے سے لایا گیا ہے۔
