Advice

One day by way of advice I said to Iqbal Neither you fast nor are regular in prayers

You are also perfect in the ways of hypocritical people You pine for London in the heart but you talk of Hijaz

Your lies are also based on what is expediency The manner of your flattery also is fully miraculous

Your lecture ends on glorification of the government Your bright thought is the inventor of methods of entreating

Officials’ doors are also like Maqam-i- Mahmud to you Your designs are more interlocked than locks of Ayaz’ hair

Like other people you can also conceal Secrets of self aggrandizement in your cloak of din’s service

You are seen in the mosque also on the Eid day Your heart is also softened by the sermon’s effect

You practice reading country’s newspapers also Which are obligated to sing your repute’s songs

On top of all this you can also write verse Your poetry’s goblets are full of the wine of Shiraz

Whatever are the attributes of leaders, you have them all Incumbent on you is rising and joining the struggle

You are not afraid of hunters, as you have wings also Then why are you not inclined for flight?

“The end of our life is the cemetery Presently raise tumult in the sky’s vault”
