چہ خوش صحرا کہ شامش صبح خند استشبش کوتاہ و روز او بلند است
Hail the desert whose eve is morning gay,Whose nights are shorter and longer the day.
قدم ای راھرو آہستہ تر نہچو ما ہر ذرہ او دردمند است
Place thy steps with a gentle gait,That sands like me has a ruthful trait.
From Armaghan-e-Hijaz (Persian) (1938) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
