पुराने हैं ये सितारे फ़लक भी फ़र्सूदा
जहाँ वो चाहिए मुझ को कि हो अभी नौ-ख़ेज़
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
These stars are old, and the sky itself is worn out, but where I desire them, let them be newly fashioned.
Explanation
This couplet speaks profoundly about the disparity between reality and desire. The poet suggests that even the celestial stars, the grandest symbols of eternity, are worn out ('fursuda'). Yet, when the heart needs connection, or when a new beginning is required, the desired place or person must feel utterly fresh and vibrant ('nau-khez'). It’s a powerful commentary on the human yearning for novelty and renewal amidst the decay of time and circumstance.
