وصال ما وصال اندر فراق استگشود این گرہ غیر از نظر نیست
His parting’s prick in my tete-a-tete lies,To ope this tie get a glance of one’s eyes.
گہر گم گشتۂ غوش دریا استولیکن ب بحر، ب گہر نیست
That pearl is hidden though in depths of sea,To pearls water yet we cannot call sea.
From Armaghan-e-Hijaz (Persian) (1938) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
