हदीस-ए-बे-ख़बराँ है तू बा ज़माना ब-साज़ ज़माना बा तो साज़द तू बा ज़माना सातेज़
Allama Iqbal
Meaning

You are a mere tune, a mimic of the world's fashion; you are merely an imitator of the era, and the era itself is the master musician.

Explanation

This couplet speaks to the paradox of modern existence. The poet suggests that the subject—the person or idea—is like a simple, misunderstood tale (Hadees-e-be-khabran). Yet, they possess the profound skill of a master artist (Saaz) who shapes the entire era. Conversely, the age itself is not the creator, but the subject is the very ornament (Saatez) that defines and elevates the time. It's a tribute to enduring, impactful individuality.
