ख़तर-पसंद तबीअत को साज़गार नहीं
वो गुल्सिताँ कि जहाँ घात में न हो सय्याद
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
A nature that loves danger cannot be adorned, it is a garden where the poet's art is not in peril.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks about the necessity of struggle and risk for true vitality. The poet suggests that a spirit, inherently drawn to danger and challenge, cannot be nurtured or contained in an environment that is too safe or predictable. For growth, for the vibrancy of life, there must be a certain element of struggle, a necessary 'danger,' to keep the spirit alive and resilient. It's a powerful message about embracing the journey, not just the destination.
