مریدی خود شناسی پختہ کاریبہ پیری گفت حرف نیش داری
A well read disciple asked his guide,With a word in which a sting did hide.
بمرگ ناتمامی جان سپردنگرفتن روزی از خاک مزاری
To die for a life will it well behave?To make one’s living from bones of a grave.
From Armaghan-e-Hijaz (Persian) (1938) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
