Barg

बर्ग
said barg
Meaning

A leaf, the green blade of the tree or plant.

How Iqbal uses it

The barg is the single leaf, the smallest visible unit of the garden's vitality, that greens in spring and falls in autumn. It carries the tradition's sense of the fragile, seasonal life that yet composes the whole flourishing tree.

See it in the verse

Barg in Iqbal’s couplets

Safina-e-barg-e-gul bana lega qafila mor-e-na-tawan ka
Hazar maujon ki ho kashakash magar ye dariya se par hoga
The caravan of feeble ants will make a boat of a rose petal; though a thousand waves clash against it, this boat will cross the river.
Hope · Courage · Unity
