Na Kar Dein Mujhko Majboor-e-nawaan Firdaus Mein Hooren — Allama Iqbal
Meaning
Do not force me into the paradise of the nine with its nymphs, lest my inner burning turns into the heat of the gathering.
Explanation
This beautiful couplet is a profound warning about the power of intense passion. The speaker is addressing the celestial beings (hoors) and asking them not to push him into Paradise, because his inner burning desire (saz-e-daruun) is so potent. He fears that if they push him too far, his passion will overwhelm the atmosphere, turning the gathering into unbearable heat. It speaks to the delicate balance between divine bliss and overwhelming human emotion.
