My days are passing by with concern for my appearance; I have neither complaints of my friends nor of the times.

This profound couplet speaks to the overwhelming power of love. The poet suggests that his life's rhythm, his days, are dictated solely by the beloved's intense preoccupation with him. For the lover, the world's troubles, the complaints of friends, or the hardships of fate become utterly meaningless. Allama Iqbal elevates the beloved's attention to the highest priority, making worldly concerns seem trivial in comparison to the emotional connection!
