कहीं ज़िक्र रहता है 'इक़बाल' तेरा
फ़ुसूँ था कोई तेरी गुफ़्तार क्या थी
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
Your mention remains somewhere, Iqbal; what magic was in your speech?
Explanation
This couplet beautifully captures the enduring magic of a beloved's voice. The poet suggests that even after separation, the memory of the person remains, and the power of their speech (guftaar) is almost supernatural. It speaks to that profound emotional imprint—the way certain words or a certain tone can weave a spell that never truly breaks. It’s a tribute to the captivating power of language and memory.
