Hain Uqda-kusa Ye Khar-e-sehra — Allama Iqbal
हैं उक़्दा-कुशा ये ख़ार-ए-सहरा
कम कर गिला-ए-बरहना-पाई
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
These knots and thorny bushes of the desert, lessen the complaints of the naked-footed one.
Explanation
This profound couplet is a message of resilience. Allama Iqbal tells the listener that the seemingly painful, thorny path (kharr-e-sehra) is actually beneficial, calling it 'knot-untier.' He urges us to stop complaining about the discomfort or the bare feet. The message is clear: the struggle itself is what untangles the knots of ignorance and despair. Embrace the difficulty, for it is your greatest teacher.
