Shaheen’s Gaze: 30 Urdu Eagle Poems + Trans

Uqaabon ki parwaaz, hai sab se buland,
Pahaadon ki choti, unhein hai pasand.

The mountain peak is what they prefer.

Na rakh apna nasheman, gulzaaron mein.

Do not keep your nest in flower gardens. (Inspired by Iqbal)

Manzil aasmaanon mein, nazar aati hai.
