अफ़्लाक से आता है नालों का जवाब आख़िर
करते हैं ख़िताब आख़िर उठते हैं हिजाब आख़िर
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
At last, an answer to the cries of lamentation arrives from the heavens. Ultimately, they deign to speak, and all the veils are lifted.
Explanation
This couplet captures the hard-won triumph of patience and authentic longing. The poet reassures us that when a heart's cry is sincere, even the vast, indifferent heavens must break their silence and respond. The lifting of 'veils' represents the dissolution of distance and doubt, turning a lonely plea into an intimate, divine dialogue.
