इल्म की हद से परे बंदा-ए-मोमिन के लिए
लज़्ज़त-ए-शौक़ भी है नेमत-ए-दीदार भी है
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
For the man of faith, who is beyond the limits of knowledge, both the sweetness of longing and the favor of seeing are blessings.
Explanation
This profound couplet moves beyond mere intellectual knowledge, speaking directly to the heart of the believer. Allama Iqbal suggests that for someone with true faith, two immense pleasures exist: the exquisite joy of yearning (shauq) and the ultimate bliss of seeing (deedaar). It teaches us that spiritual experience is a realm that cannot be measured by textbooks or logic, but must be felt deeply within the soul.
