Nawa-e-subh-gahi Ne Jigar Khoon Kar Diya Mera — Allama Iqbal
नवा-ए-सुब्ह-गाही ने जिगर ख़ूँ कर दिया मेरा
ख़ुदाया जिस ख़ता की ये सज़ा है वो ख़ता क्या है
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
The gentle breeze of the new morning has stained my heart with blood; Oh God, what is the sin for which this punishment is given?
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the agony of unexplained suffering. The poet laments that the mere sight of the beautiful dawn (Nawa-e-Subh-gahi) has pierced his heart, making him bleed. He cries out to God, questioning what sin or fault could possibly warrant such intense punishment! It is a universal cry of a lover who feels unjustly afflicted by beauty and fate.
