दिल सोज़ से ख़ाली है निगह पाक नहीं है
फिर इस में अजब क्या कि तू बेबाक नहीं है
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
The heart is free from burning passion, but the gaze is not pure. So what wonder that you are not shameless?
Explanation
This powerful couplet captures the frustration of a lover who senses a deep contradiction. The lover observes that the beloved's gaze is physically free from sorrow, yet it lacks purity. The poet then questions this inconsistency: if the gaze is flawed, why are you so unabashed? It's a poignant accusation of hypocrisy and unrestrained emotion in love.
