इलाज आतिश-ए-'रूमी' के सोज़ में है तिरा
तिरी ख़िरद पे है ग़ालिब फ़िरंगियों का फ़ुसूँ
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
Your cure lies in the burning passion of 'Rumi', and on your worth, Ghalib, the foreign magicians' spell.
Explanation
This profound couplet tackles the theme of cultural dependency and intellectual crisis. The poet suggests that the cure (इलाज) for deep-seated wounds is found not at home, but in the pain of a foreign land ('Rome'). The second line delivers a powerful critique, stating that the source of true wisdom (ख़िरद) itself is now influenced by foreign magic or influence. It is a deeply melancholic commentary on a society losing its self-reliance and unique identity.
