Also read the English translation of Iqbal’s poem at the bottom. But obviously, you dont get the same effect as you do in Urdu.

Translation:
The Believing Man
or
The Man of Belief (Iman)
Each moment the Musalman (Believer) Has
New Style, New State (of Beautiful Character)
in Words, In Deeds, he is Proof Of God’s
(Existence)
To Be Powerful, Forgiving, Pure and Mighty,
These Four Qualities Form a True Muslim.
Being a Human, Made of Clay, he still is a
Neighbour (Equal to) of Jibreel, and he is not a
Citizen Dweller of “Bukhara” or “Badakhshan.”*
No One Knows This Secret that the Musalman
Though Appears to be a Reciter But in Fact He
himself is Quran (Embodiment of its Teachings).
You Can Gauge the Decision of God and
Decrees Through his Actions. He is a Scale in
this Life and the Same in the Next Life.**
He is a Coolneess to the Flowers (Like Morning
Dew) and he is a Storm to Send Shivers to the
Hearts of Rivers.***
The Song of Nature is his Day and Night.#
His is Rhymed Delicately like Surah Rahman.##
In my Factory of Thoughts (facility of Thoughts
and Percept) The Stars are Produced, Take
your “Stars of Fate” and Recognise Them.###
- Meaning he can earn higher status of Angels through piety etc. and needs not an earthly dwelling.
** Meaning that he is a standard to judge things and he is not bound by decrees but the writer and a gauge of various decisions and degrees.
*** Gentle and tough at the same time.
