मिरे कदू को ग़नीमत समझ कि बादा-ए-नाब
न मदरसे में है बाक़ी न ख़ानक़ाह में है
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
You considered my body a boon, like a fresh breeze; it remains neither in the madrasa nor in the khanqah.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the unique value of the self, independent of traditional structures. The poet suggests that the speaker's mere presence or stature should be considered a blessing, because they are not bound by the rules or existence of established institutions—neither the religious school (Madrasa) nor the Sufi lodge (Khanqah). It’s a declaration of spiritual independence and self-worth!
