I received news from the God of the Sea and the Shore, that the foreigner is in the passing way of the helpless flood.
This couplet speaks of a profound, almost cosmic, revelation. The 'God of the Sea and the Mountain' represents the ultimate, primal forces of nature and the divine. The news received is not mundane; it concerns a passage ('rehgauzar') through a flood ('sail') that is limitless and overwhelming. Allama Iqbal suggests that the greatest truths and the most challenging journeys are those that take us far beyond our known boundaries, into the unknown expanse of existence.
