'description':
- 'lang': 'en'
  'text': 'Though outwardly this poem is a piece of "natural poetry" it contains, as is usual with ‘Allamah Iqbal, his basic philosophy of Khuda or the pre-eminence of Man in the God''s creation. The poem says that though the beautiful rose, as an object of beauty in the creation of God, is "a joy for ever", it is devoid of the feelings of longing for comprehension of the Truth, which faculty is the gift of God specially endowed upon Man. Man should appreciate, enjoy and respect the beauty of the cosmos and should not create chaos therein by interfering with, abusing or damaging the same for satisfaction of his material needs. This longing, or the continuous search for the Truth created in the poet''s heart, which in fact should exist in every Muslim''s heart would eventually illuminate the world and would train the human intellect and guide it into spiritual channels instead of leaving it as an unbridled steed as at present.'

    'notes':
    - 'phrase': 'Longing'
      'meaning': '"Longing" or ardent desire is one of the important planks of `Allamah Iqbal’s philosophy. However, this longing is not for the material things of life or the satisfaction of physical desires, which is found in all living things. What distinguishes Man from other creation and entitles him to the honor of being God’s vicegerent on earth is the "longing" for more elegant goals and more sublime desires than mere indulgence in material pleasures. His longing is a limitless ocean of search for knowing the Truth and the Purpose of the creation of God, knowledge of His Essence, and fixing of high ideals for life, such as struggle in the cause of God. These thoughts exist throughout his works and many poems in this book also contain them. This "longing" is a part of the efforts for the cognition and development of the self, This is beautifully explained in his book Asrar-i-Khuda.'
