Meaning

Blooming, blossoming; the act or state of a flower opening, also cheerfulness.

Shiguftagi is the opening of the bud into flower, Iqbal's metaphor for the soul or community coming into its full expression. Spiritual blossoming, like the garden's, is both a gift of season and a fruit of inner readiness.
