Samar

समर

said sa-mar

also written: Thamar

Meaning

Fruit, the ripened yield of a tree; figuratively the result or reward of effort.

How Iqbal uses it

Samar is the fruit that crowns growth, the harvest of labour and the proof that the seed and season did their work. Iqbal uses it for the fulfilment that follows striving, the tangible result of a life rightly lived.

See it in the verse

Samar in Iqbal’s couplets

Main shakh-e-tak hun meri ghazal hai mera samar
Mere samar se mai-e-lala-fam paida kar

I am a branch of the vine, my song is my fruit; from that fruit press out the tulip-red wine.
