मिरे हल्क़ा-ए-सुख़न में अभी ज़ेर-ए-तर्बियत हैं वो गदा कि जानते हैं रह-ओ-रस्म-ए-कज-कुलाही
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning

In my circle of poetry, there are still those who are under training, who know the ways and customs of the fool.

Explanation

This profound couplet speaks to the continuity of art and tradition. Allama Iqbal observes that within the gathering of poets (Halqa-e-Sukhan), there is always a new generation of talent. These emerging poets, though still under guidance (Zair-e-Tarbiyat), are already intimately familiar with the complex rules and customs of poetic mastery (Kaj-Kulahi). It is a tribute to the enduring nature of Urdu literature and the passing torch of knowledge.
