عرب را حق دلیل کاروان کردکہ او با فقر خود را امتحان کرد
The Truth chose Arab for caravan’s lead,On faqr since he tested his own self’s breed.
اگر فقر تہی دستان غیور استجہانے را تہ و بالا توان کرد
If the poor’s content with envy is green,His growth can upset the whole world’s scene.
From Armaghan-e-Hijaz (Persian) (1938) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
