मिरे जुनूँ ने ज़माने को ख़ूब पहचाना
वो पैरहन मुझे बख़्शा कि पारा पारा नहीं
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
My passion made the world recognize me well; it granted me a garment that was not a fleeting spell.
Explanation
This powerful couplet speaks to the transformative power of intense passion—the 'junoon.' The poet suggests that when one commits fully to a cause, an art, or a love, that passion itself becomes a defining force. The world, recognizing this depth of spirit, grants you an identity or stature—a 'garment'—that is not merely superficial or temporary. It is a profound, lasting essence, earned through dedication and unwavering commitment.
