Meaning
Spiritual intoxication; in Sufi terminology, the ecstatic state of absorption in the Divine, contrasted with sobriety (sahw).

Usage & notes
Sukr is the technical Sufi term for the rapture of the seeker overcome by divine presence. Iqbal engages the classic tension between such intoxication and the sober selfhood he prizes, valuing an ecstasy that returns to purposeful action.
