چہ حاجت طول دادن داستان رابحرفی گویم اسرار نہان را
A long tale serves no service in a sense,In one word I tell a hidden fact hence.
جہان خویش ماسودا گران دادچہ داند لامکان قدر مکان را
His whole world he gave to the merchants when,How can homeless know worth of home then.
From Armaghan-e-Hijaz (Persian) (1938) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
