किस को मालूम है हंगामा-ए-फ़र्दा का मक़ाम
मस्जिद ओ मकतब ओ मय-ख़ाना हैं मुद्दत से ख़मोश
Allama Iqbal
Meaning

Who knows the state of tomorrow's uproar? The mosque, school, and tavern have been silent for ages.

Explanation

This profound couplet by Allama Iqbal is a social commentary on societal stagnation. The poet questions the location of the impending chaos ('Hungama-e-Fardaa'). He observes that the fundamental pillars of human life—the mosque (faith), the school (knowledge), and the tavern (pleasure/social life)—are all unnaturally silent for too long. This silence suggests a deep societal paralysis, implying that the great upheaval is brewing not from outside, but from within the core institutions themselves.
