@Armstrong,http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mCaWGZW3QK0/TNUrSltbUiI/AAAAAAAAAAo/-IU-PcpmNGQ/s1600/allamaiqbal.jpg
brother good day, if you have time during your day, can you explain me this quote with respect to context, looking for it online so far no result. merci

Thats a couplet by Iqbal & Iqbal is the poet-philosopher of Pakistan which means he is as cryptic as Goethe & yet as beautifully expressive as Rembrandt with a brush ! Plus, though, Urdu is my mother tongue, I never, most regrettably, developed much of a proficiency in the more finer literary genres of it.

So in my rudimentary understanding of Iqbal & Urdu, it probably means :

Oh Iqbal I am searching for my self,

And yet I myself am the passenger & the journey's end
.


I think hes referring to what he called as 'Khudi or Self' !

To find out more about what 'Khudi or Self' means, read this : ::: Iqbal’s Concept of Khudi (Ego) :::

And this : IQBAL'S CONCEPT OF THE SELF

Or better yet you can download some of his works with English Translation from here : Welcome to Allama Iqbal Site

Even in the poetic section where only Urdu & Persian are listed open them up (by right clicking & opening another tab) & then select a poem & often there is an option for a 'translation' to it as well in English.

Babes, Rafay is correct. Only in Western culture is rain a symbol of sadness. For us it symbolizes joy and life.

Don't take the syllabus as everything. Don't you love it when it rains in Islamabad? :)
