Meaning

Impatience and want of forbearance, the heart's inability to wait or endure quietly.

Be-sabri is the restless impatience of a heart that cannot bear to wait, the opposite of sabr. Iqbal, who otherwise prizes patient endurance, also knows the holy impatience of the seeker too eager for union to rest content.
