تو ای دل تا نشینی در کنارمز تشریف شہان خوشتر گلیمم
So long as you are in my breast, O heart,My mat is better than a monarch’s throne.
درون سینہ ام باشی پس از مرگمن از دست تو در امید و بیمم
Will you be still in my breast after death?My hopes and fears are fixed on you alone.
From Payam-e-Mashriq (1923) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
