O dwellers of the Maghrib's grace, this abode of God is no marketplace; what you consider true will soon become worthless.

This powerful couplet by Allama Iqbal is a profound warning against materialism and the superficiality of worldly life. He addresses those who live in the 'West' (Maghrib), reminding them that the divine realm, the true abode of God, is not a marketplace. What we take for granted as solid reality, the poet suggests, will eventually lose its luster and value when the truth of the divine is revealed.
