IX-IV
As
such I say to a. soft hearted soul,1
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.
1. Iqbal says, "As such I say to a poor
(meek) ruthful man among the mystics-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.
