Agar Ho Zauq To Khalvat Mein Padh Zuboor-e-azam — Allama Iqbal

अगर हो ज़ौक़ तो ख़ल्वत में पढ़ ज़ुबूर-ए-अजम फ़ुग़ान-ए-नीम-शबी बे-नवा-ए-राज़ नहीं
— Allama Iqbal

Meaning

If you have the inclination, read the Book of Azam in solitude, for the sorrow of the semi-night does not have the voice of secrets.

Explanation

This profound couplet by Allama Iqbal is a call for deep introspection. He advises that if you possess the inclination (zauq), you should turn inward and read the sacred texts in solitude. The journey through the semi-night (noon-shabee) is not merely wandering; it is a path filled with a secret, profound melody. It urges us to seek hidden truths rather than engaging in superficial distractions.
