जमील-तर हैं गुल ओ लाला फ़ैज़ से इस के
निगाह-ए-शाइर-ए-रंगीं-नवा में है जादू
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
The rose and the beloved are fragrant from Faiz's verses, for the poet's colorful gaze holds a magic.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the enduring power of art and vision. Allama Iqbal suggests that while the beauty of poetry (like Faiz's) is undeniable, the true, captivating magic resides not in the words themselves, but in the gaze—the 'nigaah'—of the innovative Shayar. It is the poet's unique perspective, their vision, and their ability to see the unseen that truly casts the spell on the listener. It elevates the poet's gaze to a mystical, transformative force.
