To Sufi by Allama Iqbal

Writing Translation

Translation: my English rendering of Allama Iqbal’s original.

I translated this poem in my freshman year for my English class.

This is a world of miracles for you.

But for me, this is the world of randomness.

The world of fantasies is poor,

But poorer is the world of births and deaths.

It is no wonder that your gaze will change it all,

The world of possibilities is calling you.
