Farda

फ़र्दा

said far-DAA

also written: farda

Meaning

Tomorrow, the future day.

Literally: Persian farda: tomorrow, the coming day.

How Iqbal uses it

Farda is tomorrow, the future that Iqbal's striving self forges out of today's effort; he insists the destiny of farda is shaped by the resolve and action of imroz.

See it in the verse

Farda in Iqbal’s couplets

Kyun ziyaankaar banun sood-faramosh rahun
Fikr-e-farda na karun mahv-e-gham-e-doosh rahun

Why should I make myself a loser, forgetful of all gain — give no thought to tomorrow and stay lost in yesterday's grief?
