Ho Naqsh Agar Baatil Takrar Se Kya Haasil / Kya Tujh Ko Khush Aati — Allama Iqbal
हो नक़्श अगर बातिल तकरार से क्या हासिल
क्या तुझ को ख़ुश आती है आदम की ये अर्ज़ानी
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
If the talk is an illusion, what is gained from this quarrel? / Does the request of Adam bring you any pleasure?
Explanation
This profound couplet questions the value of actions or arguments that are rooted in illusion or falsehood. The poet asks: If the foundation of your plea or conflict is baseless, what true gain can you expect? And furthermore, does the humble, pleading request of humanity truly bring joy? It’s a reflection on the transient nature of human efforts when measured against a higher truth.
