जो एक था ऐ निगाह तू ने हज़ार कर के हमें दिखाया
यही अगर कैफ़ियत है तेरी तो फिर किसे ए'तिबार होगा
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
The glance that was once singular, you multiplied it into a thousand, showing us this. If this is your way, then whom can we trust?
Explanation
This profound couplet by Allama Iqbal speaks to the volatile nature of love and trust. The poet observes that the beloved's gaze, which initially revealed a simple truth or feeling, has multiplied it into an overwhelming thousand complexities. He questions the consistency of this love, asking: if this unpredictable nature is your habit, then whom can one truly depend upon? It is a powerful lament about shattered expectations.
