با پرستاران شب دارم ستیزباز روغن در چراغ من بریز

English translation

I am battling against the worshippers of darkness, replenish my lamp with oil.
Lovers of night: (worshippers of darkness) refers to people who stand for untruth, falsehood, kufr. To fight the worshippers of night it is necessary to dispel darkness through light. But the light from his (i.e. Iqbal’s) lamp is very dim due to lack of oil. ‘Oil’ stands for material as well as spiritual resources.

Translated by Bashir Ahmad Dar

Urdu translation

میرا مقابلہ رات کے پرستاروں سے ہے؛ میرے چراغ میں اور روغن ڈال دیجیے۔
