Wo abhi mein hai
“The handful of dust whose true station lies beyond moon and stars is still wandering, lost, on the road.”
वो अभी में है
The couplet in Devanagari — it carries the authenticity of the original, and every Hindi reader can read it.
وہ مشت خاک ابھی آوارگان راہ میں ہے
The couplet as Iqbal wrote it, in Urdu (Nastaliq).
Iqbal looks at the human being, a mere fistful of dust, and insists its destined place is past the moon and the stars. Yet that same being is still drifting aimlessly on the road, far below its possible height. The gap between what a person could be and where they currently wander is the subject of Iqbal's whole philosophy of khudi.
Your potential reaches far higher than where you are presently drifting. Do not mistake your current wandering for your ceiling. The destination is set far above it.
Khuda bande se khud pooche, bata teri raza kya hai
Abhi ishq ke imtihan aur bhi hain
Tu agar mera nahin banta na ban, apna to ban
