بہل افسانۂ آن پا چراغیحدیث سوز او آزار گوش است
Do not tell me about that silly mothWho met an easy, suicidal death.
من آن پروانہ را پروانہ دانمکہ جانش سخت کوش و شعلہ نوش است
It is the hardy moth that I admire,The one who bravely fights with his last breath.
From Payam-e-Mashriq (1923) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
