Ke Asal-E-Zindagi Hai Khud-Numai
Of love and losing what words need be said?
The self’s unfolding is Life’s fountain‐head;
Dil-E-Darya Se Gohar Ki Judai
There’s neither loss to ocean nor to pearl
In the pearl’s loosening from the ocean’s bed.
(Armaghan-e-Hijaz-18) Na Kar Zikr -e-Firaq-o-Ashnayi ( نہ کر ذکر و فراق آشنائی) Of love and losing what words need be said?

here iqbal talks against his own ideas. but yeh sach nahi.
asal mai baat yeh k yeh wo makam hai. jo sub se agay hai.
Quran says: mai roz aik nai shan se zahir hota hon. subhanALLAH. yeh is makam ki baat hai.
Well, I believe, here Allama is pointing towards the connection between body and the spirit.
