शबनम की तरह फूलों पे रो और चमन से चल इस बाग़ में क़याम का सौदा भी छोड़ दे
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning

Weep upon the flowers like the morning dew and depart from the garden; abandon even the thought of staying permanently in this place.

Explanation

The poet captures the fragile transience of life through the tender image of morning dew. Just as a dewdrop weeps over the blossoms for a brief moment before vanishing at dawn, we too must experience life's poignant beauty without clinging to it. The garden of this world is merely a passing stop, and wisdom lies in letting go of the illusion that we can dwell here forever.
