zāhir kī aañkh se na tamāshā kare koī
ho dekhnā to dīda-e-dil vā kare koī
No one should judge the world’s spectacle with only the outward eye.
If you truly want to see, open the eye of the heart.
Allama Iqbal contrasts physical sight with inner insight. The “outward eye” catches appearances and distractions, while the “eye of the heart” symbolizes awakened conscience and spiritual perception. The couplet urges a shift from surface-level looking to deeper seeing, where truth becomes visible. Its emotional core is a call to inner awakening and meaningful understanding.
