دوام ما ز سوز ناتمام استچو ماہی جز تپش بر ما حرام است
Unceasing restlessness is life for us.Like a fish we must always remain mobile
مجو ساحل کہ در آغوش ساحلتپید یک دم و مرگ دوام است
And shun the shore; for it is dangerousOne vibrant moment. and then quietus.
From Payam-e-Mashriq (1923) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
