फ़ितरत ने न बख़्शा मुझे अंदेशा-ए-चालाक
रखती है मगर ताक़त-ए-परवाज़ मिरी ख़ाक
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
Nature has not granted me the foresight of cunning, but it holds my strength of flight within its dust.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the paradox of inherent nature and latent power. The poet suggests that nature (or destiny) has not granted him the fear of being cunning or deceitful. Yet, despite this perceived lack of caution, he still holds the immense, burning power of flight—a power that resides even in his ashes. It's a powerful declaration of intrinsic, undiminished spirit.
