Addressed To the Students of Aligarh College |
The message of others is different, my message is different
The style of address of the one afflicted with Love is different |
You have heard the laments of the bird under the net
Also listen to the laments of the bird on the roof tops which are different |
Call was coming from the mount, “Life’s secret is peace”
The frail ant was saying “The pleasure of struggle is different” |
The glory of Hijaz’ assemblage is based on Haram’s Love
The station of this is different, the system of that is different! |
Eternal luxury is death if there is no Longing for Search
Man’s revolving is different, wine‑cup’s revolving is different |
The dawn’s candle left the message that burning is life’s secret
In the life’s sorrowful abode the condition for eternity is different |
The wine is still half-mature, Love is unsuccessful still
Leave the church’s brick on the pitcher’s mouth still. |
