طلسم علم حاضر را شکستمربودم دانہ و دامش گسستم
I broke the magic of the modern age,I pounced on the grains and broke the trap cage.
خدا داند کہ مانند براہیمبہ نار او چہ بے پروا نشستم
The God knows that in the Abram’s wake,How fearless I sat in that fire’s stake.
From Armaghan-e-Hijaz (Persian) (1938) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
