की हक़ से फ़रिश्तों ने 'इक़बाल' की ग़म्माज़ी
गुस्ताख़ है करता है फ़ितरत की हिना-बंदी
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
By right, the angels have Iqbal’s affection; / The impudent one dares to bind nature's disposition.
Explanation
This powerful couplet delves into the nature of free will and inherent self. The poet suggests that even divine beings, like the angels, sometimes indulge in mischief. But the true audacity, the ultimate transgression, is not the mischief itself, but the attempt to artificially restrain or cage one's natural, innate self (fitrat). It’s a profound statement about the necessity of living authentically, defying any imposed boundaries.
