بخود پیچیدگان در دل اسیرندھمہ دردند و درمان ناپذیرند
The self writhing hearts are captives of lures,All writhing in pains and wriggling for cures.
سجود از ما چہ میخواہی کہ شاہانخراجی از دہ ویران نگیرند
Thou seekest my kowtows but see that kings,Are prone not to tax the desolated wings.
From Armaghan-e-Hijaz (Persian) (1938) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
