O pure conscience, O elevated gaze, and the intoxication of desire, neither the wealth of Qaroon nor the thought of worldly ambition.

This couplet is a profound declaration of self-worth and independence. Allama Iqbal asserts that his true wealth lies not in material possessions or worldly fame, but in the purity of his conscience ('Zameer-e-Paak'), the nobility of his gaze, and the passion of his spirit. He declares that he neither seeks the wealth of the world nor worries about fleeting pleasures, finding his richness purely internal.
