Intellect (brain) one day said to the heart:
'I am a guide to those who have gone astray
Though bound to earth I reach the heaven above
I am destined in the world to show the way
I am the interpreter of the book of life
I am an attribute of divine display
You only a drop of blood
I am the envy of ruby's ray'
'This is all true', replied the heart
'But look at me, be as it may
You look at life's trauma and drama
I see through life's white and grey
You deal with outer manifestations
And I am aware of the inner fray
Knowledge is to you, intuition to me
You seek God, I show you how to pray
Limit of wisdom is restless doubting
I am cure for the malady of dismay
You are a lantern to illuminate a spot
I am a lamp to illuminate a path
You deal with time and space
I deal with Judgement Day
To what lofty place do I belong?
I am the pedestal of God Almighty, I say'
Aql aur Dil (Intellect and Heart) by Mohammad Iqbal
