از دم سیراب آن امی لقبلالہ رست از ریگ صحرای عرب

English translation

It was due to the bounty of the one called Ummi; that tulips grew out of the sandy desert of Arabia.
(Ummi: Usually it is translated as one who cannot read and write. According to some, it is the Arabic equivalent of the word ‘Gentile’ which the Israelites used to designate all non-Jews. ‘Talip’ lalah: Iqbal often employs this word, particularly lalah-i sehra, to denote Muslim Community.)

Translated by Bashir Ahmad Dar

Urdu translation

اس امّی لقب (صلعم) کی زندگی بخش پھونک سے صحراۓ عرب کس اندر سے گل لالہ پیدا ہوا۔
