I could not remain silent, even in the presence of the Lord (Yazdān), 'Iqbal' asks, Who will shut the mouth of this impudent person?

This powerful couplet speaks to the unstoppable nature of truth and passion. The poet, Allama Iqbal, suggests that even the divine presence—the very atmosphere of God's grace—could not silence the mouth of a rebellious soul. This 'banda-e-gustakh' (rebellious man) speaks such profound truths that the divine itself must bear witness. It is a declaration of an uncontainable spirit!
