در حضور رسالت مآب

تو از آن قومی کہ جام او شکستوا نما یک بندہ اﷲ مست

English translation

From that nation whose cup is now broken, produce a single man who is God-intoxicated.
(Iqbal has repeated this idea in several of his books… he advises the new generation to do its best in seeking the right type of dervish who can help people in transforming the pattern of their life and the mode of their thought.)

Translated by Bashir Ahmad Dar

Urdu translation

آپ (صلعم) کی زیر قیادت عربوں نے ان کا جام توڑا تھا؛ اس دور میں بھی ایک بندہء اللہ مست ظاہر کیجیے ۔
