Persian · noun · Iqbal's Emblems

Naghma-e-Bulbul

नग़्मा-ए-बुलबुल
said nagh-ma-e-bul-BUL
Meaning

The song of the nightingale.

Usage & notes

The nightingale's song, poured out for love of the rose, is the very music of the garden and the type of the poet's lyric utterance; Iqbal honours this song yet calls it toward a deeper purpose than endless plaint.
