Create a text with image magick

Question

I am trying to create an image file which has a text and a transparent background.

I used this command:

convert -background black -fill blue \ -font Arial -pointsize 72 label: \ Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam invidunt ut labore . invidunt ut labore . output.png

but it did not create me anything and I got this error / message:

Quite strange, isn't it ? On my local computer, it's working file
