    - 'phrase': 'silent'
      'meaning': 'These two verses mean that the universe has no real existence and is only a figment of human imagination. This concept is based on Plato’s philosophy of idealism, according to which the universe is only something in human thought and as such is only an idea and not a reality. This is also believed in a modified form of sufism according to which the real existence is that of God only and the universe is only a figment of human mind. The casual mention of this thought in this ghazal does not mean that ‘Allamah Iqbal believed in Plato’s philosophy. It has been shown earlier that he was very much opposed to Plato and his philosophy, which distracts Man from deeds and engulfs him in mere thought. The second hemstitch of the verse contradicts Plato’s thought.'
