Persian · noun · Nature & the Garden

Barg-e-Gul

बर्ग-ए-गुल

said barg-e-GUL

Meaning

A rose-petal.

How Iqbal uses it

The barg-e-gul, the soft and scented rose-petal, is the fine tissue of the garden's beauty; its delicacy and quick fading make it, in Iqbal as in the tradition, a measure of how tender and how transient loveliness is.

See it in the verse

Barg-e-Gul 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.
