है ज़ौक़-ए-तजल्ली भी इसी ख़ाक में पिन्हाँ
ग़ाफ़िल तू निरा साहिब-ए-इदराक नहीं है
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
The intoxication of divine manifestation is also concealed in this dust; you are not oblivious, O master of perception.
Explanation
This profound couplet by Allama Iqbal challenges our perception of divinity. The poet suggests that the essence of divine manifestation (Tajalli) is not confined to grand temples or heavenly realms, but is hidden within the most mundane elements—even the dust (khaak). He addresses the heedless soul, reminding them that true awareness (Idrak) is not a unique gift reserved for the few; it is accessible to all who open their hearts to realize the sacred in the ordinary.
