Whom did Allama Iqbal seek help from in his early days?

Allama Iqbal, the national poet of Pakistan and a key figure in the Pakistan Movement, sought guidance from the famous Urdu poet Dagh Dehlvi in his early poetic career. Dagh Dehlvi was a master of classical Urdu poetry and significantly influenced Iqbal's initial style, helping him refine his craft and poetic expression. Iqbal Khan is not a known mentor for Allama Iqbal. Mir Taqi Mir and Ghalib were earlier classical poets, long deceased by Iqbal's time, so he could not have sought direct help from them. This mentorship was crucial for Iqbal's poetic development.
