की हक़ से फ़रिश्तों ने 'इक़बाल' की ग़म्माज़ी
गुस्ताख़ है करता है फ़ितरत की हिना-बंदी
By right, the angels have Iqbal’s fondness; / The impudent one dares to bind nature's disposition.
By right, the angels have Iqbal’s affection; / The impudent one dares to bind nature's disposition.

ख़ाकी है मगर इस के अंदाज़ हैं अफ़्लाकी
रूमी है न शामी है काशी न समरक़ंदी
It is drab, yet its style is ecstatic; / It is neither Rumi, nor Shami, nor Kashi, nor Samarkand.
It is drab, yet its style is ecstatic; it is neither Rumi, nor Shami, nor Kashi, nor Samarkand.

सिखलाई फ़रिश्तों को आदम की तड़प उस ने
आदम को सिखाता है आदाब-ए-ख़ुदावंदी
To the angels, the longing of Adam, he taught,
Adam teaches the manners of God's love.
He taught the angels the yearning of Adam, and Adam teaches the manners of divine love.
