میان لالہ و گل آشیان گیرز مرغ نغمہ خوان درس فغان گیر
A bud sprang up in the narcissus bed,And dew washed sleep out of its eyes.
اگر از ناتوانی گشتہ ئی پیرنصیبی از شباب این جہان گیر
Thus out of Selflessness did Self arise:The world at last found what it had long sought.
From Payam-e-Mashriq (1923) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
