کہن پروردۂ این خاکدانمدلی از منزل خود دل گرانم
For long I’m gaining from this dusty mart,Of my place yet I feel a heavy heart.
دمیدم گرچہ از فیض نم اوزمین را سمان خود ندانم
From boon of its moist I feel a life though.I never took this earth like a sky so.
From Armaghan-e-Hijaz (Persian) (1938) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
