نہ من انجام و نی آغاز جویمہمہ رازم جھان راز جویم
The origin and end of this world–theseI do not seek; but I seek mysteries;
گر از روی حقیقت پردہ گیرندھمان بوک و مگر را باز جویم
For I am myself one. Should the truth beUnveiled, I would miss my uncertainties.
From Payam-e-Mashriq (1923) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
