My heart is Muslim, neither yours nor mine. You are not a worshipper, and I am not a worshipper.

This profound couplet delves into the complex relationship between spiritual devotion and human emotion. Allama Iqbal suggests that true devotion (Ibadat) must remain independent of the beloved. The heart, even if it belongs to a pious person, is ultimately a Muslim's heart—dedicated solely to God. The message is a powerful declaration of spiritual autonomy: no matter how pious you are, your faith must belong only to the Divine, not to a person.
