ز جانم نغمۂ ’’اللہ ہو‘‘ ریختچو کرد از رخت ہستی چار سو ریخت
When the Allah Hoo’s tick did hit my soul,I dusted the clothes’ of the cosmos whole.
بگیر از دست من سازی کہ تارشز سوز زخمہ چون اشکم فرو ریخت
Hold the violin quick as the chords so soon,Are loosing my grip by quill’s burning tune.
From Armaghan-e-Hijaz (Persian) (1938) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
