सफ़ीना-ए-बर्ग-ए-गुल बना लेगा क़ाफ़िला मोर-ए-ना-तावाँ का
हज़ार मौजों की हो कशाकश मगर ये दरिया से पार होगा
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
A caravan will make a ship from the petal of a rose, a procession of the peacock's grace; Though it is a pond of a thousand waves, yet it will cross this river.
Explanation
This couplet is a powerful declaration of unwavering resolve. Allama Iqbal uses stunning imagery: the 'boat of flower petals' suggests something incredibly delicate, yet it is set to cross a mighty river challenged by a thousand waves. The message is clear: no matter how fragile you feel, or how overwhelming the obstacles seem, your inner resolve and determination will always guide you to the other side. It’s a testament to the enduring spirit of man.
