My grave is the shrine of the great souls and the brave; I revealed the secret of Alavandi to the dust of the path.

This powerful couplet elevates the grave from a mere resting place to a sacred shrine (Ziyarat-gah). Allama Iqbal suggests that the sanctity of his grave comes not from his lineage, but from the profound knowledge and secrets he entrusted to the very dust of the path. By revealing the 'secret of Alavandi'—a deeply significant spiritual location—he immortalizes his legacy, making his resting place a pilgrimage site for those seeking wisdom and courage.
