वो ख़ाक कि है जिस का जुनूँ सयक़ल-ए-इदराक
वो ख़ाक कि जिबरील की है जिस से क़बा चाक
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
The dust which holds the passion of realization, and the dust from which Gabriel's garment was woven.
Explanation
This profound couplet by Allama Iqbal speaks about the nature of devotion and reality. The poet contrasts two types of 'dust' (khaak). One dust is linked to the 'passion of realization' (junoon-e-idraak), suggesting the intensity of spiritual awakening. The other dust is from the cloak (qaba) of Gabriel (Jibreel). This contrast implies that true devotion isn't just about raw passion, but about the sacred, divine source of knowledge itself.
