ऐ तैर-ए-लाहूती

 ऐ तैर-ए-लाहूती , उस  रिज्क  से  मौत  अच्छी

जिस  रिज्क  से  आती  हो , परवाज़  मैं  कोताही

आइन-ए-जवांमर्दी , हक  गोई-ओ-बे  बाक़ी  

अल्लाह  के  शेरोन  को , आती  नहीं  रुबाही

- अल्लामा इकबाल

 Aey Tair-e-Lahooti, uss rizq say mout achi
Jis rizq say aati ho, parwaz main kotahi
Aain-e-jawanmardi, haq goi-o-bay baaqi
Allah kay sheron ko, aati nahin rubaahi
