What understanding makes you sit on the scent of the rose, O Kalim? If the power of sight is given, someone will demand its use.

This profound couplet by Allama Iqbal speaks about the misplaced effort and the nature of true vision. The 'Kalim' (the addressed one) is questioned for flying to the mountain ('Toor') based on a misunderstanding. Iqbal suggests that if one truly possesses the power of insightful sight ('Deed'), that sight itself will inevitably draw attention and demand recognition. It’s a reminder that genuine talent or insight doesn't need forced attempts; it speaks for itself!
