पानी पानी कर गई मुझ को क़लंदर की ये बात
तू झुका जब ग़ैर के आगे न मन तेरा न तन
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
of Qalandar made me weep; when you bowed before another, neither your mind nor your body were truly yours.
Explanation
This powerful couplet captures the pain of seeing a loved one compromise their principles. The speaker says that Kalandar's words have completely overwhelmed them. The core critique is aimed at the beloved: how easily you bend, losing both your spirit and your dignity, merely in front of others. It’s a lament about perceived weakness and the loss of self-respect.
