ROZ EK SHER

ओ मेरे अरबाब, क्या तारे नुमायां कर गये
पैदा हुए, बी.ए. किये, नौकर बने और मर गये
- इक़बाल

o mere arbaab, kyaa taare numaayaan kar gaye
paidaa huey, B.A. kiye, naukar bane aur mar gaye
- Iqbal

O my lord, what stars have you caused to appear!
They take birth, graduate, slave at a job and die.
