ये कौन ग़ज़ल-ख़्वाँ है पुर-सोज़ ओ नशात-अंगेज़
अंदेशा-ए-दाना को करता है जुनूँ-आमेज़
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
Who is this ghazal lover, who is so burning and intoxicating, who turns the mere sight of the beloved into madness?
Explanation
This couplet is a profound meditation on the nature of intense love and poetic passion. The speaker questions the identity of a ghazal lover who is so intoxicatingly charming and passionately burning. This passion is so overwhelming that even the mere thought—the 'mere suspicion'—of the beloved transforms into a consuming madness. Allama Iqbal reminds us that true art and love are not just emotions; they are forces that redefine our very existence.
