نہ ہر کس از محبت مایہ دار استنہ با ہر کس محبت سازگار است
On very few men is Love’s wealth bestowed;Not all men find it does their system good.
بروید لالہ با داغ جگر تابدل لعل بدخشان بی شرار است
The tulip’s breast glows with a purple heart,But cold and sparkless is the ruby’s red.
From Payam-e-Mashriq (1923) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
