"Sitaron ke aage jahan aur bhi hain,

                                Abhi ishq ke intehaan aur bhi hain,

                                Tu Shaheen hai, Parwaaz hai tera,

                                Abhi Zameen aur bhi, Aasmaan aur bhi hain."

                                'Shaheen -- The Soaring Eagle' very aptly symbolizes
                                 the indefatigable spirit of The Hyderabad Public School(B)
                                 and is understandably our mascot.

                                        The verses above are a part of a ghazal penned by the great
                                 Urdu poet Iqbal......The complete version goes......

                               "Sitaron se aage Jahan Aur bhi hai
                                 Abhi Ishq ke Imtehaan aur bhi hai

                                Tahi zindagi se nayi yeh fizaa-e
                                Yaha saikdo karwaan aur bhi hai

                                Kinaat na kar alam-e rango bu par
                                Chaman aur bhi, aashyaan aur bhi hai

                                Agar kho gaya ek nasheman to kya gam
                                Makamate aho faga aur bhi hai

                                Tu Shaheen hai parwaaz hai kaam tera
                                Tere saamne aasman aur bhi hai

                                Isi roz shab mein ulaj kar na rehja
                                Ke tere zamano makaan aur bhi hai

                                Gaye din ke tanha tha mein anjuman mein
                                Yaha ab mere razdaan aur bhi hai.."

                               The verses of this amazing ghazal also figure in a song
                               named "KHUDI" sung by the pakistani rock group
                               "JUNOON"(features in their album "AZADI").
