جہان مشت گل و دل حاصل اوستہمین یک قطرۂ خون مشکل اوست
This world is mere dust and the heart its fruit–A drop of blood at all its troubles’ root!
نگاہ ما دو بین افتاد ورنہجہان ھر کسی اندر دل اوست
If we had not a double vision, weWould find our world within our heart’s retreat.
From Payam-e-Mashriq (1923) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
