usī 'iqbāl' kī maiñ justujū kartā rahā barsoñ
baḌī muddat ke baa'd āḳhir vo shāhīñ zer-e-dām aayā
Interpretation:
Rekhta AI
The couplet speaks of a prolonged inner quest: the speaker seeks “Iqbal” not just as a name but as elevation, fortune, and awakened selfhood. The “shaheen” (falcon) symbolizes a high-flying, free, noble spirit that is hard to tame. When it finally comes “under the snare,” it suggests the hard-won moment when one’s disciplined effort brings the desired strength and direction into one’s command. The emotion moves from restless yearning to fulfilled mastery.
