Usage & notes

Najaabat is nobility of nature — a fineness of character that shows in dignified, generous, and honourable bearing. Iqbal honours the najib soul whose worth is intrinsic, while teaching that genuine nobility is a matter of the self's quality rather than mere lineage. He admires the truly noble temper that combines strength with grace and refuses anything base.
