dayar-e-ishq by allama iqbal

Dyar E Ishq Mein Apna Maqaam Paida Ker

Create a place for thyself in the world of love;

Naya Zamana Naye Subh O Shaam Paida Ker

Create a new age, new days, and new nights.

Do not be beholden to the West's artisans,
Safal-E-Paak Se (P?)Meena-O-Jaam Paida Ker

My ghazal is the essence of my life-blood,

Mera Tareek Ameeri Nahi Faqeeri Hai

My way of life is poverty, not the pursuit of wealth;
Khudi Na Baich Gareebi Mein Naam Paida Kar

Seek thy sustenance in what thy land affords.

Dyar E Ishq Mein Apna Maqaam Paida Ker...

Create a place for thyself in the world of love;
