The Glitter Of Europe
Upon Allama Iqbal’s return from Europe, he was asked if he was impressed by Western Civilisation, he replied:
خِیرہ نہ کر سکا مجھے جلوۂ دانشِ فرنگ
سُرمہ ہے میری آنکھ کا خاکِ مدینہ و نجف
“The glitter of Europe could never dazzle my eyes;
My eyes are coloured with the dust of Madina and Najaf.”
– Allama Iqbal Lahori
