Sukhan AI
चीते का जिगर चाहिए शाहीं का तजस्सुस
जी सकते हैं बे-रौशनी-ए-दानिश-ओ-फ़रहंग
Allama Iqbal
Meaning

One needs the courage of a cheetah and the splendor of a royal; this is enough to live even without the light of knowledge and glory.

Explanation

This powerful couplet is a call to action, urging us to be fearless and ambitious. The poet suggests that merely possessing knowledge (दानिश) or cultural refinement (फ़रहंग) is not enough. True existence requires the raw courage of a cheetah and the boundless curiosity of a lion. We must live life with primal vigor, not just intellectual grace.
