उलट जाएँगी तदबीरें बदल जाएँगी तक़दीरें हक़ीक़त है नहीं मेरे तख़य्युल की है ख़ल्लाक़ी
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning

The plans will go wrong, and the destinies will also change; this is not reality, but merely the scope of my imagination.

Explanation

This profound couplet is a powerful reminder of the limitations of human intellect and planning. Allama Iqbal teaches us that no matter how meticulously we plan our lives or predict our futures, those plans are transient. The true architect of our destiny, the ultimate reality, belongs only to the Creator. It's a call to humility and absolute surrender to the Divine Will.
