When my day of reckoning is presented in the office of deeds, do you also bring me to shame, as you have done to me?

This profound couplet speaks about the ultimate accountability—the Day of Judgment (Roz-e-Hisab). Allama Iqbal is essentially saying that when the record of our deeds is presented, he doesn't just want himself to be ashamed; he wants his beloved or companion to feel that same shame. It’s a request for shared moral reckoning, suggesting that true repentance and self-awareness must be mutual. It elevates the conversation from personal sin to shared spiritual responsibility.
