Taqdeer Shikan Quwwat Baaqi Hai Abhi Is Mein — Allama Iqbal
तक़दीर शिकन क़ुव्वत बाक़ी है अभी इस में
नादाँ जिसे कहते हैं तक़दीर का ज़िंदानी
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
The destiny still holds strength within it; the one who calls it destiny is merely trapped.
Explanation
This powerful couplet by Allama Iqbal challenges the notion of blind faith in destiny. The poet suggests that while fate (Taqdeer) might appear to hold sway, its true power is waning. He warns that those who mistakenly attribute all control to fate are merely calling it a 'prison.' It is a call to action, reminding us that human will, effort, and consciousness must overcome the shackles of passive belief.
