اگر آگاہی از کیف و کم خویشیمی تعمیر کن از شبنم خویش
If you know your potentialities,Then with the dew you are create vast seas.
دلا دریوزۂ مہتاب تا کیشب خود را برافروز از دم خویش
O heart, why beg the moon for alms of light?Let your own flaming breath light up your night.
From Payam-e-Mashriq (1923) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
