गरचे है इफ़शा-ए-राज़ अहल-ए-नज़र की फ़ुग़ाँ हो नहीं सकता कभी शेवा-ए-रिंदाना आम
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning

Even if the disclosure of secrets is the lament of the observers, how can the straying flute ever be common?

Explanation

This profound couplet speaks to the irreplaceable nature of deep, secret experiences, especially love or profound insight. The poet suggests that even if one's most intimate secrets are revealed to the world, they will never lose their unique essence. They cannot become trivial or commonplace, like something easily found and discarded. It speaks to the enduring value of authenticity and the sanctity of true emotion.
