In the world, you can buy the spectacle of flight, but the wealth of sorrow associated with Farhad is a gift from God.

This profound couplet by Allama Iqbal contrasts worldly achievements with spiritual depth. The poet suggests that while one can buy any display of glory or fame in this life, the true, profound sorrow—the kind of deep emotional pain that defines a soul—is not something that can be purchased. It is, instead, a divine gift (a *sarmaya*) bestowed upon us by God. It reminds us that true value lies in the unbought, innate emotional experience.
