Hui Na Aam Jahaan Mein Kabhi Hukumat-e-ishq — Allama Iqbal
Meaning
Love has never completely ruled in this world, because the world is not capable of being governed by love.
Explanation
This powerful couplet speaks to the transcendental nature of true love. Allama Iqbal suggests that love (Ishq) is not a force that can be controlled, legislated, or built into a system. It exists beyond the rules of the mundane world. Love is a spontaneous, revolutionary force—it simply *is*. It refuses to be contained by societal expectations or worldly logic. It is a force that defies definition, making it eternally sovereign.
