The intellect and the heart By Allama Muhammad Iqbal
One day Intellect said to the heart
"A guide to the misguided ones I am
Being on the earth I reach up to the sky
Look, how deep in comprehension I am
Guidance on earth is my sole occupation
Like the auspicious Khidr 1 in character I am
Interpreter of the book of life I am
The Manifestation of God's Glory I am
You are only a drop of blood, but
The invaluable ruby's envy I am"
Hearing this the heart said,...
