Is Khaak Ko Allah Ne Bakhshe Hain Woh Aansoo / Karti Hai Chamak Jin — Allama Iqbal
इस ख़ाक को अल्लाह ने बख़्शे हैं वो आँसू
करती है चमक जिन की सितारों को अरक़-नाक
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
These tears, given by Allah, are like dust; they make the stars shine with their nectar.
Explanation
This profound couplet by Allama Iqbal speaks to the divine value of sorrow. The poet suggests that the tears we shed—tears which seem to fall upon the dust of life—are not merely signs of pain. Instead, they possess a unique luminescence. These tears are so radiant that they grant a brilliant shine to the very stars, transforming sorrow into a source of profound light and existence.
