मिरे गुलू में है इक नग़्मा जिब्राईल-आशोब
संभाल कर जिसे रक्खा है ला-मकाँ के लिए
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
In my chest, there is a melody, a gift from Gabriel-Ashob, which I have carefully kept for a boundless place.
Explanation
This beautiful couplet speaks to the sacred nature of love. Allama Iqbal suggests that within his heart, there resides a divine melody—a song so precious it is kept safe and guarded. This melody is not for the world, but reserved exclusively for the beloved (La-makaan). It emphasizes that true, deep love is a private, sacred treasure, a melody that only the destined heart can hear.
