عقابان را بھای کم نہد عشقتذروان را ببازان سر دہد عشق
Love humbles falcons’ proud, predaceous might,And it makes tiny quails put them to flight.
نگہ دارد دل ما خویشتن راولیکن از کمینش بر جہد عشق
However carefully we guard our hearts,Love ambushes them in the quiet night.
From Payam-e-Mashriq (1923) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
