तुझे याद क्या नहीं है मिरे दिल का वो ज़माना वो अदब-गह-ए-मोहब्बत वो निगह का ताज़ियाना
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning

How could my heart not remember that era, the court of love, and the unforgettable gaze?

Explanation

This powerful couplet is a profound cry of nostalgia. The poet is questioning the beloved why they cannot recall the 'zamana'—the glorious era—of their love. He speaks of an 'adab-gah-e-mohabbat' (abode of love) and a 'nigah ka taziyana' (the mourning of the gaze). It suggests that the memories of their intense connection are so deep, they have become a source of beautiful, lingering grief, a pain that defines the past.
