Angels Bid Farewell To Adam (Iqbal's Farishte Aadam Ko Jannat Se Rukhsat Kerte Hain)

                                  Angels Bid Farewell To Adam
                      (Farishte Aadam Ko Jannat Se Rukhsat Karte Hain)

                 Thou hast been conferred with the uneasiness of day and night,
                 We are not informed whether thou art earthy or mercurial,

                  We have heard that thy existence is from dust but,
                  Thy nature is destined to reach the celestial world,

                   If thou sees thy ultimate even in the vision,
                   Better than thy wisdom is thy gratefulness,

                  Thy pre-dawn lamentations are valuable,
                   It is this that causes thy person’s evolution,

                   It is thy person that will manifest the hidden possibilities,
                   Because God has destined the exploitation of nature through thee.
