Seena Cheer Kar Dikhana
सीना चीर कर दिखाना
Meaning
To prove one's sincerity by laying one's heart bare.

Seena Cheer Kar Dikhana in Iqbal’s couplets
Siina raushan ho to hai soz-e-sukhan ain-e-hayat
Ho na raushan to sukhan marg-e-davam ai saqi
If the heart is lit within, the fire in one's words is life itself; if it is unlit, those words are a lasting death.
