زمین خاک در میخانۂ مافلک یک گردش پیمانۂ ما
The earth is mere dust at our tavern’s door,The sky our wine-cup going round, no more.
حدیث سوز و ساز ما دراز استجہان دیباچہ افسانہ ما
The story of our heart is long, so longThe world seems to be but its opening song.
From Payam-e-Mashriq (1923) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
