جہان کز خود ندارد دستگاہیبہ کوی آرزو می جست راہی
The World, which has no being of its ownGroped for a way to self-fulfilment, and,
ز آغوش عدم دزدیدہ بگربختگرفت اندر دل آدم پناہی
Escaping from non-being’s no-man’s land,It found its being in the heart of man.
From Payam-e-Mashriq (1923) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
