Allama IQbal Poetry

Sir Muhammad Iqbal, (born Nov. 9, 1877, Siālkot, Punjab, 

India—died April 21, 1938, Lahore, Punjab, Pak.), 

Indian poet and philosopher.

 He first won fame for his poetry,

which was written in theclassical style for public

 recitation and became known even among the illiterate. His 

perspective grew increasingly Pan-Islamic,as revealed in the long

 poemThe Secrets of the Self (1915),which he wrote in Persian in 

order to address a broader Muslim audience. Calling for a 

revitalization of Islam, he advocated the separate Muslim

 state that would eventually be realized with the founding 

of Pakistan in 1947 and he was acclaimed after his death

as the father of that country.His poetic masterpiece is 

“The Song of Eternity” (1932).He is considered the greatest

 20th-century poet to write in Urdu.....
