Meaning
The adorning of beauty; the decking-out of loveliness.
Literally: adornment of beauty
How Iqbal uses it
Aaraaish-e-husn is beauty being arrayed and made ready for the eye; for Iqbal it can mirror the world's own decking-out as a display of its Maker's beauty.
See it in the verse
Aaraaish-e-Husn in Iqbal’s couplets
Ishq bhi ho hijab mein husn bhi ho hijab mein
Ya to khud aashkar ho ya mujhe aashkar kar
Ya to khud aashkar ho ya mujhe aashkar kar
Love is veiled and beauty too is veiled; either reveal yourself, or make me one who can be revealed.
Love · Self-Knowledge · Restlessness
Miri mashshatgi ki kya zarurat husn-e-mani ko
Ki fitrat khud-ba-khud karti hai laale ki hina-bandi
Ki fitrat khud-ba-khud karti hai laale ki hina-bandi
What need has true beauty of meaning for my adorning hand? Nature, all on its own, paints the tulip red.
