तलवार ले के उठता है हर तालिब-ए-फ़रोग़ दौर-ए-फ़लक में हैं ये इशारे हिलाल के
— Akbar Allahabadi
Meaning

Every seeker of glory and elevation rises with a sword in hand, as these are the signals given by the crescent moon in the revolution of the sky.

Explanation

The poet paints a striking visual by comparing the curved crescent moon (hilaal) in the night sky to a raised sword. It feels as though the heavens themselves are signaling that anyone chasing glory and ascension must be ready to fight for it. It is a thought-provoking observation on how human ambition and the pursuit of power are poetically reflected in the rhythm of the cosmos.
