Hazar Khauf Ho Lekin Zuban Ho Dil Ki Rafeeq — Allama Iqbal
Meaning
Even if there are a thousand fears, if the tongue is the companion of the heart, this is the path adopted by the Qalandars since eternity.
Explanation
This powerful couplet speaks to the struggle between outward fear and inner conviction. Allama Iqbal suggests that no matter how many fears (a thousand fears) might plague us, the ultimate guide must be our own heart. If our tongue remains a true companion to our deepest emotions, we are walking the timeless path of the seeker—the Qalandar. It is a call to live authentically, guided by truth, not by fear.
