چہ گویم زان فقیری دردمندیمسلمانی بہ گوھر ارجمندیخدا این سخت جان را یار باداکہ افتاد است از بام بلندی

English translation

As such I say to a. soft hearted soul*, a Muslim is honoured on virtues role.
O God, help the man who leads a life hard; who fell from a summit, God be his ward.
* A Faqir is not actually poor but a voluntary-poor, leads a life like a poor fellow, who actually likes to help the poor to remove their poverty. Where Iqbal says ‘A poor man’ he means the same. There is no equivalent word to convey this sense in English language as I understand. His ‘Faqir’ is not a beggar nor a mendicant, but a man who hikes to distribute every penny to the poor.

Translated by Q.A. Kabir

Urdu translation

میں اس درد مند فقیر کے متعلق کیا عرض کروں؟ مسلمان، جو اصل کے اعتبار سے بلند مرتبت ہے؛خدا اس سخت جان کی دستگیری فرماے ؛ یہ بہت بلندی سے گرا ہے۔
