Soul Of Earth Welcomes Adam
Open the eyes, see the earth, the heavens, the expanse around thee!
( Iqbal’s Rooh-e-Arzi
Aadam Ka Istaqbal Kerti Hai )
Open the eyes, see the earth, the heavens, the expanse around thee!
Would thou see
the sun rising from the east!
See the view uncovered
covered in the sheath!
See the
hardship of the exile, bear the oppression!
Don’t get
excited, observe the battle of hope and fear!
They are under
thy disposal these clouds and their gatherings,
This dome of
heavens, these silent atmospheres,
These mountains,
these deserts, these oceans, these breezes,
Until
yesterday agels’ activities were before thee,
In the mirror of day and night now see thy own
actions,
The times will take dictate from the movements
of thy eyes,
From
far the stars of the heavens will watch thee,
The ocean of thy imagination has no limits,
The sparks of
thy wails will reach the emperean throne,
Realise thy self and see thy sighs will evoke
response,
Thy inherent
fire-sparks have the power of world illuminating sun,
A fresh world
is thriving in thy evolution,
The rewarded
paradise is not estimable in thy view,
Thy paradise
is hidden in thy implementation of divine love,
O the most
eminent of creatures! See the result of continued efforts,
Thy every
vein is pervaded with love since ever,
Thy person
is based on devotion since ever,
Thou hast
the ability to exploit the outcome of
thy actions,
Thou art laborious, hast extreme devotion,
art not troublesome,
Thy will is
the rider of the fate of the world, wait.
