ز جان بیقرار آتش گشادمدلی در سینۂ مشرق نھادم
Emitting from my fervent soul a flame,I put a living heart in the East’s flame.
گل او شعلہ زار از نالۂ منچو برق اندر نہاد او فتادم
Its clay has been ignited by my song.Like lightning I have darted to its core.
From Payam-e-Mashriq (1923) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
