I am but as the spark that gleams for a moment,His burning candle consumed me - the mothHis wine overwhelmed my goblet,The master of Rum transmuted my earth to goldAnd set my ashes aflame
More Quotes from Allama Iqbal:
What avails love when life is so ephemeralWhat avaiIs a mortals love for the immortalLove that is snuffed out by deaths passing blastLove without the pain, the passion that consumesA flickering spark I am, aglow for a fleeting glanceFlow vain for a flickering spark to chase an eternal flameGrant me the bliss of eternal life, O Lord,And mine will be the ecstasy of eternal love.Give me the pleasure of an everlasting painAn agony that lacerates my soul for ever.Allama Iqbal
Arise, and soar with the suns new-born rays,To breathe new life into dying nights and days.
