For years, I kept searching for 'Iqbal', and after a long time, he finally came under the roof.

This couplet speaks of persistent yearning and the eventual fulfillment of a deep-seated desire. The speaker has been searching for 'Iqbal' (a person, or perhaps inspiration/wisdom represented by the name) for years. The phrase 'shaahi zer-e-daam' suggests a grand, royal, or protective presence. It captures the feeling of waiting through immense hardship, only to finally find the desired solace or guidance.
