From the company of the Pir-e-Rum, this secret was revealed to me; A million healers, with heads of coin, and one true word, with heads of hands.

This couplet is a profound commentary on the nature of knowledge and wisdom. Allama Iqbal suggests that mere accumulation of facts or wealth, represented by the 'million doctors' (hakeem), is insufficient. True understanding, the kind that guides life, comes from genuine wisdom and deep insight—the 'one sage' (Kaleem). The poet learns that superficial expertise means little compared to profound truth.
