यक़ीं पैदा कर ऐ नादाँ यक़ीं से हाथ आती है
वो दरवेशी कि जिस के सामने झुकती है फ़ग़्फ़ूरी
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
Create certainty, O ignorant one, because certainty comes from certainty itself, before the dervishness that even the fool bows down to.
Explanation
This profound couplet by Allama Iqbal speaks of the power of inner conviction. He advises us, 'O ignorant one,' to cultivate 'Yaqeen' (unshakeable faith). This faith is so potent that it brings its own blessings, and it is a spiritual sincerity, a 'Darveshi,' before which even the proudest and most deceptive person ('Fagfoori') must bow down. It is a call to build unwavering belief in oneself and one's purpose.
