मंज़िल-ए-इशक़-ओ-तवक्कुल मंज़िल-ए-एज़ाज़ है शाह सब बस्ते हैं याँ कोई गदा मिलता नहीं
— Akbar Allahabadi
Meaning

The realm of love and reliance on God is a place of supreme honour; everyone who resides here is a king, and no beggar is to be found.

Explanation

This couplet celebrates the sacred inner station where passionate love meets absolute trust in the Divine (tawakkul). The poet beautifully suggests that total spiritual surrender does not make you weak or needy; instead, it bestows an inner sovereignty so profound that every seeker becomes royalty. In this blessed realm of spiritual contentment, no one is a beggar chasing worldly crumbs—everyone is rich, self-sufficient, and crowned with dignity.
