था ज़ब्त बहुत मुश्किल इस सैल-ए-मआ'नी का कह डाले क़लंदर ने असरार-ए-किताब आख़िर
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning

It was very difficult to hold back this flood of profound meanings, so ultimately, the qalandar (free mystic) revealed the secrets of the Book.

Explanation

The poet speaks of an overwhelming deluge of divine insights and deeper truths that became utterly impossible to hold back within the heart. In mystical traditions, profound spiritual secrets are usually guarded with quiet restraint, but when divine inspiration rushes like a flood, all barriers break down. The free-spirited mystic, yielding to this ecstatic rush, ultimately casts aside caution and reveals the sacred mysteries of the Book.
