कोई ये पूछे कि वाइ'ज़ का क्या बिगड़ता है जो बे-अमल पे भी रहमत वो बे-नियाज़ करे
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning

Someone should ask what loss it causes the preacher if that Self-Sufficient God bestows His grace even upon someone who lacks good deeds.

Explanation

Here, the poet takes a witty and profound swipe at the self-righteous preacher who loves gatekeeping paradise. The verse contrasts the boundless, unconditional mercy of God—the truly 'Self-Sufficient' (Be-Niyaz)—with the petty, transactional mindset of religious puritans. It asks a beautifully simple question: if God's grace is infinite and He chooses to forgive an imperfect soul, what does it cost the preacher to let divine compassion flow freely?
