نہ نیروی خودی را زمودینہ بند از دست و پای خود گشودی
The Ego’s power he did not try,His hands and feet too opened no tie.
خرد زنجیر بودی دمے رااگر در سینۂ او دل نبودے
The wisdom to man is sometimes a chain,If he had no heart to check and restrain.
From Armaghan-e-Hijaz (Persian) (1938) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
