Given below is an excerpt from a poem by poet Iqbal
Subah Ka Sitara
Morning Star
Lutf-e-Humsayegi-e-Shams-o-Qamar Ko Chorun
Aur Iss Khidmat-e-Paigham-e-Sehar Ko Chorun
Enough of this sun‐and‐moon neighboring glory—
Enough of this office of heralding dawn!
Mere Haq Mein To Nahin Taron Ki Basti Achi
Iss Bulandi Se Zameen Walon Ki Pasti Achi
Worthless to me the abodes of the planets,
Lowly earth‐dwelling is more than these heights
