چہ قومی در گذشت از گفتگوہاز خاک او بروید رزوہا
When a nation gives up gossip’s course,From her dust then grows the longing’s force.
خودی از رزو شمشیر گردددم او رنگ ہا برد ز بوہا
The self becomes sword from longing’s flow,Whose sharp edge cuts all stains of vain show.
From Armaghan-e-Hijaz (Persian) (1938) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
