چہ گویم قصہ دین و وطن راکہ نتوان فاش گفتن این سخن را
How to tell tale of ‘Deen’ and father land.No words I have on a difficult stand.
مرنج از من کہ از بی مہری توبنا کردم ہمان دیر کہن را
So do not take ill if due to thy ways,I cherish to revive the good old days.
From Armaghan-e-Hijaz (Persian) (1938) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
