ishq bhi ho hijab men husn bhi ho hijab men ya to khud ashkar ho ya mujhe ashkar kar allama iqbal portrays a world where both the seeker’s love and the sought-after beauty remain veiled, so true encounter cannot happen. the speaker pleads for clarity: either the beloved/truth should manifest openly, or the speaker’s inner self should be unveiled. the ‘hijab’ symbolizes barriers of perception, ego, and confusion. the emotional core is restless yearning for direct vision and self-recognition.
