مپرس از من کہ احوالش چسان استزمینش بدگہر چون آسمان است
Ask me not of his present day lot,As if, earth and sky have made a plot,
بر آن مرغی کہ پروردی بہ انجیرتلاش دانہ در صحرا گران است
To bird who was reared on fruits of fig,The grains’ search in deserts a problem big.
From Armaghan-e-Hijaz (Persian) (1938) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
