بہ دین ما حرام مد کرانہبہ موج ویز و از ساحل بپرہیز
Thus said to its child a ‘croco’: with boast,It is banned in our faith to see the coast.
ہمہ دریاست ما را شیانہبہ سیمای سحر داغ سجود است
So mix up with waves and shun the coast,To us the river bed plays a host.
From Armaghan-e-Hijaz (Persian) (1938) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
