Sharaar
A spark; the least flash of fire, emblem of a fleeting life or a kindling passion.
Literally: spark
Sharar is a spark — the flying ember of love's fire, the brief flash that leaps from the blaze in the lover's heart. The ghazal loves its image of fleeting brilliance: a life, a glance, a moment of passion bright and gone in an instant. Iqbal uses the spark to figure the restless, self-consuming intensity he prizes — better a short life lived as a flying spark than a long one as cold ash.
Sharaar in Iqbal’s couplets
Nahin shola dete sharar ke ewaz
Dam de na jaye hasti-na-paayedar dekh
Wo khar-o-khas ke liye hai ye nistan ke liye
