Fitrat Ko Khirad Ke Roo-bu-roo Kar — Allama Iqbal
फ़ितरत को ख़िरद के रू-ब-रू कर
तस्ख़ीर-ए-मक़ाम-ए-रंग-ओ-बू कर
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
Opposite your natural disposition, by acquiring wealth, subdue the realm of color and fragrance.
Explanation
This profound couplet by Allama Iqbal is a call to intellectual and spiritual mastery. It advises us to confront our raw, inherent nature (fitrat) using our intelligence and knowledge (khird). The ultimate goal is not just wealth, but mastering the very essence of superficial pleasures—the fleeting 'color and fragrance'—thereby achieving true self-control and wisdom.
