The fire of the pomegranate is in Iqbal's breath; remove such a ghazal-writer from the garden.

This powerful couplet is a meta-commentary on poetic genius itself. Allama Iqbal suggests that the intensity of poetry, the 'fire of the young shoots' (lale ki aag), emanates from the very essence, the 'breath' (nafas), of the poet himself. He challenges the established poetic circle, demanding that such raw, vibrant talent—the 'ghazal-sara'—be removed from the comfort of the garden, forcing it to confront the harsh realities of life and art.
