सनम-कदा है जहाँ और मर्द-ए-हक़ है ख़लील
ये नुक्ता वो है कि पोशीदा ला-इलाह में है
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
My beloved, where is the place and the man of truth, Khalil? This point is hidden within the 'La Ilah' (There is no god).
Explanation
This profound couplet tackles the eternal conflict between worldly illusion and absolute truth. The first line describes how the world is utterly captivated by the beloved's beauty, a common distraction. However, the second line shifts the focus dramatically. The 'nuqta' (point) is that in the deepest, hidden reality (Poshida), there is no god but God (La-Ilah). It is a powerful reminder that all worldly attachments are temporary, and true existence is found only in the Divine.
