Zabt
Confiscation or seizure; also self-control and discipline.
Literally: self-control, discipline, mastery over impulse
Zabt is the disciplined command a person holds over their own passions and powers. Iqbal makes this self-mastery essential to khudi: the strong self is not the one that indulges every urge but the one that gathers and directs its forces toward a chosen aim. He reads discipline as what concentrates the will into power, turning scattered energy into purposeful action.
