To Students of Aligarh College
(Iqbal’s Tulaba-e-Aligarh ke naam)

Others' message is otherwise, my message is different,
A compassionate devotee’s style of address is different,

You have heard the wails of  a bird trapped in a net,
Hear this too that utterance of the bird on roof is different,

Voice from the mount had said that purpose of life is rest,
The tiny ant said: 'The pleasure of movement is different',

Love of God promotes glory in the life of the nation,
Its dignity is different, its order is different,

Death is an eternal pleasure if there be no taste for change,
Cycle of man is different, cycle of wine cup is different,

Candle lamp said at the pre-dawn: 'Burning is achievement of life',
In sorrowful world of egotism condition of eternity is different,

Wine is not yet intoxicating, passion is yet falling short,
Let the wine pitcher be under care of the foreign government.
