Main Aise Faqr Se Ae Ahl-e-halqa Baaz Aaya — Allama Iqbal
Meaning
I have come free from such poverty, O inhabitants of the circle; your poverty is without wealth or sorrow.
Explanation
This couplet is a profound observation on the nature of suffering and destitution. The speaker declares that he has left the general poverty of the world's gathering. But he then points out something specific about the listener's poverty—it is not merely a lack of wealth, but a unique kind of sorrow. It suggests that sometimes, the deepest kind of emptiness is not visible to the eye, making the emotional suffering far more profound than mere material lack.
