usi 'iqbal' ki main justuju karta raha barson badi muddat ke baa'd akhir vo shahin zer-e-dam aaya the couplet speaks of a prolonged inner quest: the speaker seeks “iqbal” not just as a name but as elevation, fortune, and awakened selfhood. the “shaheen” (falcon) symbolizes a high-flying, free, noble spirit that is hard to tame. when it finally comes “under the snare,” it suggests the hard-won moment when one’s disciplined effort brings the desired strength and direction into one’s command. the emotion moves from restless yearning to fulfilled mastery.
