It is a great blessing in this world that the Sufis' lodges are empty in the khanqah.

This powerful couplet by Allama Iqbal speaks to a sense of spiritual disillusionment. The poet observes that it is a strange 'blessing' (ghanimat) in modern times that the Sufi lodges (Khanqah) are empty of the Sufis' traditional devotional gatherings (kudu). It suggests a decline in genuine spiritual fervor, prompting the listener to question the state of faith and tradition in the contemporary world.
