Khuda Tujhe Toofaanon Se Aashna Kar De
Ke Tere Bahar Ki Mojon Mein Iztirab Nahin

May Allah make you face to face with storms
For that ocean of yours lacks tumult and turmoil

For an untrained person this might sound like a curse than a supplication.
Allama Iqbal is praying here for the youth to get into difficult situations.
In reality this is a supplication for getting the youth into action - the only thing that is well becoming of youth.
And thus it is also an exhortation to the effect desired in the OP - awakening of heart.

Awakening of heart means to do what one has come to do in this world.
The purpose of life is to earn Jannah and Jannah has been covered by hardships.
If you are ready to face the hardships of life you are on the right path and your heart is awaken.

Actually the very fact that Maulana is worried about dead heart is awakening in itself.
This is a different situation from an earlier one in which he was put off by talks about Hadhrat A and Hadhrat B.

So this desire to awaken heart is a good omen. May Allah (SWT) keep the flame lit.

My Shaikh (DB) repeats several times in a Majlis : Zikr Karo Fikr Paidah Ho Jayegi, indulge in Remembrance - you shall become concerned. So there you have a simple formula to the same purpose.

There is Muraqba-e-Maut (Remembrance of Death) by Khwaja Azizul Hasan Sahab Ghauri Majzoob (RA).
I read it everyday for months on - it takes at least twenty minutes to read normally.

Then there is the lecture by Pir Zulfiqar Ahmed Sahab (DB) from Dar-ul-Uloom Waqf about the sacrifices by the scholars in the path to seek knowledge. It contains a muraqbah using a poem by Pir Nasiruddin. This muraqbah completely tears you away from this world - just like combing your skin with iron comb.

Finally two lectures by Maulana Tariq Jamil Sahab (DB) give you a rather sharp message that you might just get up from your seat to jump into action. One was at Allama Iqbal Medical College Lahore and another one at a Jamaat-e-Islami function.

And with these things covered any one should be up and running in a few weeks. Not a bad transaction at all.
