Meaning
معنی۱
The line echoes Sufi and Saadi-era moral poetry, where ادب (adab, refined manners) is closely tied to silence. In modern Iran, it shows up in classroom culture: a student who answers every question is sometimes mocked as not yet serious. The praise goes to the quiet one who speaks once and well.
