An Evening (Iqbal's Ek Shaam)

                      An Evening

                   Iqbal’s Ek Shaam,

             penned in August, 1907 on the bank 

             of the Neckar,Hydelburg, Germany.

           Light of the moon is quite,

           Branches of every tree are quite,

           Birds of the valley are quite,

           Vegetation of the mountainous range is quite,

           Nature has become unconscious,

           It has slept in the embrace of night,

           Such is the spell of calm,

           Flow of the Neckar too is quite,

           Caravan of the stars is quite,

           This caravan is moving without caravan bell,

           Mountains, deserts, and rivers are quite,

           As if, universe is in meditation,

            O my heart be quite!

            Embracing the sorrow be asleep.
