POET of EAST Allama Muhammad Iqbal


Sir Muhammad Iqbal, widely known as Allama Iqbal, was a poet, philosopher and politician, as well as an academic, barrister and scholar in British India who is widely regarded as having inspired the Pakistan Movement. He is called the "Spiritual Father of Pakistan." Wikipedia
BornNovember 9, 1877, Sialkot
DiedApril 21, 1938, Lahore

The ultimate aim of the ego is not to see something, but to be something.
Words, without power, is mere philosophy.
Nations are born in the hearts of poets, they prosper and die in the hands of politicians.




His one of the most important services as a hero was to aware the people through poetry. He wrote many books like: Shikwa, Jawab-e- Shikwa, Armaghan-e- Hijaz, Javed Nama, Bal-e- Jibrael etc.With these books he reminded the people about the goals of the life and ideas to form a better society. He wrote poetry in Urdu and Persian but he is thought to be the greatest Urdu poet of the 20th Century. His poetry serves as a reminder of the past glories of Islam.




Most important achievements of Iqbal were: -He raised voice for the cause of the Muslims of India when they were in British control and were the part of the British colony. -He put emphasis on promoting of education and other social problems were highlighted by him like unemployment and trade deficit. - He was the one who gave the idea for a separate homeland for the Muslims of India in 1930 and on the basis of his ideas Muslims of India got Independence. So I think he deserves to be a true hero who led the people.








Today dark clouds have appeared from the east again
Mount Sarban 
 has become covered with darkness again

As the sun's face became hidden under the clouds
Cool breeze also came riding on the steed of clouds

There are no thunder claps, silent are these clouds
Strange in its tranquillity is this tavern of dark clouds

It has brought everlasting joy's message for the garden
It has come to stitch pearls to the jacket of rose

The flowers which were fading by sun's heat freshened up
Those which were sleeping in the earth's bosom woke up

With the wind's force the cloud rose, advanced and flowed
Some dark clouds rose up, the clouds burst open into rain!

The camp of the mountains' trees is wonderful
Strollers in valleys should stay among its trees!
The End.....
