हुस्न-ए-बे-परवा को अपनी बे-नक़ाबी के लिए
हों अगर शहरों से बन प्यारे तो शहर अच्छे कि बन
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
If the beauty of indifference, for its unveiled face, is to be cherished by cities, then may the cities be good.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the intoxicating power of natural, unadorned beauty. The poet suggests that if a beauty is so captivating—so effortless and pure—that merely by being unveiled, it makes the very cities surrounding it desirable, then the attraction is truly sublime. It’s a compliment that elevates the subject beyond mere physical attraction; it suggests they radiate an energy that transforms the environment itself.
