You are bowing head to ‘Dara’ and ‘Jam’, O fool tarnish not the honour of ‘harm’. Take not thy needs to Anglian’s door; drop these idols from heart’s inner core. Dara: Darius. Jam: A title of old Kings of Persia. Jam’s throne; when used with throne it means ‘Solomon’.

I heard a nice verse from a man old, a wise man great with conscience of gold. If he guards the self in want and need, that darvesh can win both worlds in deed. A conscience of gold: Having brilliant qualities of head and heart.

The being’s secret hids in two words of sage, on cross the love lies and never on stage. The Abrams feared not at Nimrod’s behest, to raw aloewood the fire is a test. It is one of the best poems of Iqbal, being full of sparkling similies of wits. The being’s secret; viz the secret of success.

From none seek not O poppy a solace, like me seek friendship with self’s inner base. To every wind blowing make the heart ope, watch the old scar and keep a good hope. (The old scar: The scar of love’s flame; self’s inner base; heart.)

A restive wave said once to a coast, I test my might on a Pharoah’s boast. I coil around self often like snake, oft I dance for a ‘waiting’ taste sake. (Restive wave: An allusion to ‘Momin’. Coast: An allusion to impractical man, given to theorizing.)

If this pomp and show the Anglian boon, bow not thy forehead save at his shoon. Get kicks of his stick at thy ass too, a right on the ass of saddlers’ pooh. (Anglians: Adj of Anglia (England) of the angles, their culture, dialect etc. Shoon: (archaic or dial) of shoe. Pooh (poo) (slang): An exclamation of disdain, hate or impatience.)

To Anglians thus the hearts do not own, they own only lands, to faith they disown. O God during rounds of thy sacred place, I saw hundred Satans not the Gabe’s face. (The Gabe: A diminutive noun of the Gabrial, one of the seven arch angels of the God.)
