सई-ए-पैहम है तराज़ू-कम-ओ-कैफ़-ए-हयात
तेरी मीज़ाँ है शुमार-ए-सहर-ओ-शाम अभी
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
O beloved, the scale of your wisdom and the measure of life, your balance is yet to count the dawns and the nights.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the painful realization that even the most intimate relationships are governed by external judgment. Allama Iqbal suggests that the beloved possesses a scale to weigh every joy and sorrow of the lover's life. Yet, the lover's true worth, their balance, is still being measured—day by day, dawn by dusk. It's a poignant commentary on the transient nature of love and the constant scrutiny faced in life.
