پریدن از سر بامی بہ بامینبخشد جرہ بازان را مقامی
If the hawks too fly for roof to roof race,Amongst the birds of prey they find no place.
ز نخچیری کہ جز مشت پری نیستہمان بہتر کہ میری درکنامی
For a hunt of few wings and a bit flesh,It is better to die in aerey’s mesh.
From Armaghan-e-Hijaz (Persian) (1938) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
