فرنگی صید بست از کعبہ و دیرصدا از خانقاہان رفت ’’لاغیر‘‘
When the English subdued the mosque and fane,“No aliens are they”, said the convent’s brain.
حکایت پیش ملا باز گفتمدعا فرمود ’’یا رب عاقبت خیر‘‘
I told my fears to a Mullah when,“Make his end well”, he just prayed then.
From Armaghan-e-Hijaz (Persian) (1938) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal · verified text, Iqbal Academy Pakistan
