چو دیدم جوھر ئینۂ خویشگرفتم خلوت اندر سینۂ خویش
As soon I espied my ego’s essence,I took a lone retreat in bosom hence.
ازین دانشوران کور و بی ذوقرمیدم با غم دیرینۂ خویش
From these wise blinds who have no taste.For old love’s flame I ran with haste.
From Armaghan-e-Hijaz (Persian) (1938) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
