بہ بحر خویش چون موجی تپیدمتپیدم تا بہ طوفانی رسیدم
In self’s own sea, I’m thus a restive’ wave,Till my waves in tempest to Coast would lave.
دگر رنگی ازین خوشتر ندیدمبخون خویش تصویرش کشیدم
I found no better cast than my own face,With my own blood his picture I trace.
From Armaghan-e-Hijaz (Persian) (1938) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
