जब तूती-ए-दाना को दामीकी नहो परवा तब दाम हुआ तो क्या सय्याद हुआ तो क्या
— Shah Turab Ali Qalandar
Meaning

When a wise bird has no fear or care for the trap, then the existence of neither the net nor the hunter matters at all.

Explanation

Here, the poet uses the image of a wise bird to speak of an emancipated, fearless soul. Once a person rises above worldly temptations and the fear of consequences, the traps set for them and the hunter who sets them lose all their power. True freedom is entirely internal; when the heart is detached and unafraid, no external cage can threaten you.
