गदा-ए-मय-कदा की शान-ए-बे-नियाज़ी देख
पहुँच के चश्मा-ए-हैवाँ पे तोड़ता है सुबू
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
Seeing the glory of the stick of wine, the glory of Baniyazi, Subu breaks it on the spring of the animal.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks about the unstoppable, intoxicating nature of true passion or divine beauty. The 'Gada-e-May-Kada' symbolizes an overwhelming, heady intoxication. Even when this powerful essence reaches a seemingly natural, gentle source ('Chashma-e-Haiwan'), its sheer glory is enough to shatter the delicate reed ('Sabu'). It suggests that some forces, once unleashed, are too potent to be contained.
