Kharosh

ख़रोश
also written: Khurosh
Meaning

Tumult, clamour, roaring vibration of sound.

How Iqbal uses it

Iqbal prizes inner kharosh, the surging uproar of a living spirit, over silence; the soul attuned to this clamour is the one that truly hears the melody of being.

See it in the verse

Kharosh in Iqbal’s couplets

Zindagi ka raaz kya hai saltanat kya cheez hai
Aur ye sarmaya-o-mehnat mein hai kaisa kharosh
What is the secret of life? What is this thing called the State? And what is this clamour between capital and labour?
