سخن ہا رفت از بود و نبودممن از خجلت لب خود کم گشودم
My being and non-being were topics on tips,Under feelings of shame I sealed my lips.
سجود زندہ مردان می شناسیعیار کار من گیر از سجودم
Thy great men’s kowtows are in thy know,Please rub off the dross from my kowtows.
From Armaghan-e-Hijaz (Persian) (1938) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
