Hua Na Zor Se Us Ke Koi Gareban Chak — Allama Iqbal
हुआ न ज़ोर से उस के कोई गरेबाँ चाक
अगरचे मग़रबियों का जुनूँ भी था चालाक
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
No great effort was required from him, even though the passion of the Maghribis was cunning.
Explanation
This couplet speaks to an enduring, almost untouchable spirit. Allama Iqbal suggests that no amount of cleverness or worldly temptation—even the sophisticated desires of the West—could truly capture or defeat the core essence. It’s a powerful message of self-reliance and inherent strength. The spirit, once established, remains impervious to external pressures or fleeting trends.
