نہ شعر است اینکہ بر وی دل نہادمگرہ از رشتۂ معنی گشادم
To stick it to bosom this verse aims not,With gems of meanings I open the knot.
بہ امیدی کہ اکسیری زند عشقمس این مفلسان را تاب دادم
With hope my passion would make it gold,I temper their cuprum with heats manifold.
From Armaghan-e-Hijaz (Persian) (1938) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
