عشق اندر جستجو افتاد آدم حاصل استجلوۂ او آشکار از پردۂ آب و گل است
Love want searching thro’ the earth. Until Adam came to birth;Out of water, out of clay. Manifested his display.
آفتاب و ماہ و انجم میتوان دادن ز دستدر بہای آن کف خاکی کہ دارای دل است
Sun, and moon, and stars on high, These were little to set bySo to purchase in life’s mart. Adam’s dust, that owned a herat.
From Zabur-e-Ajam (1927) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
