तू ज़िंदगी है पाएँदगी है
बाक़ी है जो कुछ सब ख़ाक-बाज़ी
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
You are life, you are the thread of existence; everything else is merely dust and illusion.
Explanation
This couplet is a profound declaration of devotion and existential realization. The poet elevates the beloved (or the divine truth) to the status of life itself. He declares that everything else—all worldly attachments, material gains, and fleeting relationships—are merely 'khaak-baazi,' or dust-play. It is a powerful statement that true reality resides only in the source of life, dismissing the illusion of the material world.
