ऐ हल्क़ा-ए-दरवेशाँ वो मर्द-ए-ख़ुदा कैसा
हो जिस के गरेबाँ में हंगामा-ए-रुस्ता-ख़ेज़
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
O circle of dervishes, what kind of man is this, a man of God, whose lap is a scene of chaos and commotion.
Explanation
This couplet is a profound rhetorical question, directed at the circle of mystics (Darveshans). The poet, Allama Iqbal, is questioning the nature of a man who can cause such a massive disruption—a 'ruckus'—in the sacred precincts of a shrine. It challenges the idea of spiritual purity when confronted with worldly chaos. It suggests that true devotion should maintain peace, not create turmoil.
