bahakna meri fitrat

mein nahi par

sambhalne mein

pareshani bahut hai

drunkenness is not

in my nature, but

practicing moderation

is quite difficult

amal se zindagi banti hai

jannat bhi jahannam bhi

ye khaaki apni fitrat mein

na noori hai na naari hai

action shapes life

both heaven and hell

this earthly being, in its nature,

is neither of light nor of fire

Mohammad Iqbal
