फ़िरदौस जो तेरा है किसी ने नहीं देखा अफ़रंग का हर क़र्या है फ़िरदौस की मानिंद
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning

No one has seen your paradise, dear; every deed of the foreigner is like paradise.

Explanation

This powerful couplet speaks to the uniqueness and unparalleled beauty of something deeply personal—the 'paradise' (Firdous) that belongs only to you. Allama Iqbal suggests that while every corner of the foreign land (Afarang) might look beautiful, they lack the intrinsic, divine quality of your own paradise. It is a profound statement on individuality and irreplaceable worth.
