The Hospital in Hijaz

A leader of the nation once said to Iqbal “A hospital is about to open in Jeddah for Hijaz

Every speck of your dust becomes restless As you hear from somebody the tale of Hijaz

Move your hand of Love towards your pocket You are world famous as the lover of Hijaz

The hospital in the suburbs of Batha is needed In the hands of ‘Isa the patient’s pulse is needed”

I said “Life lies in the veil of death As the Truth lies veiled in metaphors

What the Lover has obtained in the position of death Khizr could not obtain in the wine of eternal life

Sir, convey this message of life to others I am searching for death in the land of Hijaz

Why have you brought the message of cure? What concern do Lovers have with the Masiha.”
