अहल-ए-हरम से उन की रिवायात छीन लो
आहू को मर्ग़-ज़ार-ए-ख़ुतन से निकाल दो
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
From the women of the household, take away their tales, and from the garden of the virgin's death, remove the sound.
Explanation
This powerful couplet challenges the superficiality of blind adherence to tradition. Allama Iqbal suggests that instead of focusing on the mere rituals ('riwayat') performed in sacred places ('Ahl-e-haram'), we should liberate the true spirit. The line 'Ahu ko margh-zaar-e-khutan se nikal do' means removing the inner self from the cage of rigid, outdated customs. It's a call for spiritual awakening and authentic thought!
