Ay aftaab hum ko zia-e-shaoor de

A dramatic photograph released by NASA has captured Atlantis en route to Hubble, in silhouette against the Sun. The image was taken from the ground on Tuesday using a telescope with a solar filter.
How little man's proposals seem before the Divine Inventions, no?

Space Shuttle Atlantis caught in silhouette against the Sun

Woh aftaab jis se zamaane mein noor he,
Dil he, Khhirad he, Rooh-e-Rawan he, Shaoor he,

Ay aftaab hum ko zia-e-shaoor de,
Chashm-e-ekhirad ko apni tajalli se noor de


(The Sun which fills the world with its light, sublime
Illumines our sense and soul, our head and heart refines

Grant us the light of wisdom, O thou Light Supreme
Ignite the flame of reason with your dazzling beam?)
~Allama Iqbal
