(Armaghan-e-Hijaz-29) Samajha Lahoo Ki Boond Agar Tu Isse Tou Khair (سمجھا لہو کی بوند اگر تو اسے تو خیر) Thou think’st it a mere drop of blood; well

(8)

Samjha Lahoo Ki Boond Agar Tu Issay To Khair

Dil Adami Ka Hai Faqt Ek Jazba’ay Buland

Thou think’st it a mere drop of blood; well,

manʹs heart is but lofty ambitions. 

Gardish Mah-O-Sitara Ki Hai Nagwaar Isse

Dil Ap Apne Sham-O-Sahar Ka Hai Naqsh Band

The revolutions of moon and stars are not to its liking:

It makes its own nights and days. 

Jis Khak Ke Zameer Mein Hai Aatish-E-Chinaar

Mumkin Nahin K Sard Ho Vo Khaak-E-Arjuman

The earth that enshrines in its bosom the fire of plane tree:

this exalted earth can never be dead and cold.
