Zara Taqdeer Ki Gehraiyon Mein Doob Jaa Tu Bhi — Allama Iqbal

ज़रा तक़दीर की गहराइयों में डूब जा तू भी कि इस जंगाह से मैं बन के तेग़-ए-बे-नियाम आया
— Allama Iqbal

Meaning

Dip yourself also in the depths of destiny, for from this battlefield I have arrived as a restless spear.

Explanation

This powerful couplet speaks to the inevitability and depth of destiny (Taqdeer). Allama Iqbal tells the listener to dive into the depths of fate, because the poet himself has emerged from a 'battlefield' (jangah) like a restless, sleepless sword. It's a profound message: life's struggles are constant, and one must face the harsh realities of destiny with courage and alertness. It's a call to existential readiness.
