زبان ما غریبان از نگاہیستحدیث دردمندان اشک و آہیست
The meek utter hence of yonder glance,Thus the ruthful dwell on sob’s parlance.
گشادم چشم و بر بستم لب خویشسخن اندر طریق ما گناہیست
We keep eyes ope and seal the lips,In mystics code speech is a slip.
From Armaghan-e-Hijaz (Persian) (1938) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
