After some time, Dagh wrote to Iqbal that there was no need for any more corrections in his poetry. Though he had never met him in person, the two only corresponded through letters. Initially, when Iqbal was beginning to write poetry, he had received corrections (Islaah) from Mirza Dagh Dehlvi for a while.
Iqbal replied, ‘I, right in front of you, am his writing, incarnate.’Ĭonsequently, the British government gave the title of Shams-ul-Ulama to Maulvi Mir Hassan. The British government asked him how such a big title could be given to Maulvi Mir Hassan, and if he had a known work or book credited to his name. Wondering how much reverence did Iqbal had for his teachers? Well, in 1923, the British government decided to give him the title of "Sir", but he stated that he would only accept the title if his childhood teacher Ustad Maulvi Mir Hasan, from whom he received his primary education, would be conferred with the title of Shams-ul-Ulama.
