چہ عصر است این کہ دین فریادی اوستہزاران بند در زادی اوست
What is the age? On whom the faith cries,Who puts on it thousand checks and ties.
ز روی دمیت رنگ و نم بردغلط نقشی کہ از بھزادی اوست
From Man’s face it saps all the healthy signs,His paintings depict, his evil designs.
From Armaghan-e-Hijaz (Persian) (1938) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
