साहिब-ए-लफ़्ज़ उस कूँ कह सकिए जिस सूँ ख़ूबाँ कलाम करते हैं
— Wali Dakhani
Meaning

Only that person can truly be called a master of words, with whom beautiful people choose to converse.

Explanation

This couplet playfully redefines what it truly means to be a master of language. The poet suggests that real eloquence is not about scholarly command or grand rhetoric, but about possessing the magnetic charm that compels the beloved to break her silence. In this romantic worldview, the highest measure of a poet's art is simply having words enchanting enough that beauty itself chooses to converse with him.
