(Bal-e-Jibril-108) Wohi Asal-e-Makan-o-La-Makan Hai

Wohi Asal-e-Makan-o-La Makan Hai
Makan Kya She Hai, Andaz-e-Byan Hai

He is the essence of the Space as well as the Placeless Realm—
And Space is nothing but a figure of speech:

Khizar Kyunkar Bataye, Kya Bataye
Agar Mahi Kahe Darya Kahan Hai

How could Khizer tell, and what,
If the fish were to ask, “Where is the water?”

  1. Superb depth of Iqbal's philosophy! As Marshall Mcluhan wrote: "We're not sure who discovered water, but we're pretty sure it wasn't the fish."
