The couplet suggests that just a single call to prayer (Azan) has brought the era of Alexander (Alexander's glory).

This couplet speaks to the shifting nature of true glory. The poet addresses someone who embodies grandeur, splendor, and glory (Jah, Shauqat, Iqbal). But then, he makes a profound observation: that all this massive showiness, all the accumulated grandeur, has now been reduced to something simple, pure, and universal—like the call to prayer (Adhan), which is as fundamental and powerful as Alexander's presence. It suggests that true substance always eclipses superficial pomp.
