क्या ग़ज़ब है कि इस ज़माने में
एक भी साहब-ए-सुरूर नहीं
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
How amazing it is that in this age, there is not even a master of ecstasy.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to a sense of disillusionment. The poet, Allama Iqbal, observes that in the modern world, there seems to be an absence of true, deep-seated passion or 'surur' (ecstasy/intoxication). It's not literal intoxication, but a state of soulful highness or genuine artistic spirit. He laments the superficiality of the times, where genuine, profound feeling is rare.
