From India’s own clay mould your cup and your flask. 4.Main Shakh-e-Taak Hun, Meri Ghazal Hai Mera Samar Mere Samar Se Mai-e-Lala Faam Paida Kar My songs are the grapes on the spray of my vine; Distil from their clusters the poppy-red wine! 5.Mera Tareeq Ameeri Nahin, Faqeeri Hai Khudi Na Baich, Ghareebi Mein Naam Paida Kar! The way of the hermit, not fortune, is mine; Sell not your soul! In a beggar’s rags shine. Kalam e Iqbal(Answer to First Letter of Son of Dr. Allama Iqbal By Himself). Translated by Aliza Kashmala Kiran.
