Mard-e-darvesh Ka Sarmaya Hai Azaadi O Marg — Allama Iqbal
मर्द-ए-दरवेश का सरमाया है आज़ादी ओ मर्ग
है किसी और की ख़ातिर ये निसाब-ए-ज़र-ओ-सीम
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
The treasure of the dervish-like man is freedom and death; this collection of gold and chains is for someone else.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks of the true wealth of the ascetic—the wandering, free spirit. For a true seeker, the only assets are freedom and the acceptance of death. Iqbal dismisses the material trappings of life—the 'gold and chains'—stating that such burdens are never meant for the soul that craves absolute liberty. It's a powerful declaration of self-reliance and spiritual independence.
