Allama Iqbal - A Tribute to the Poet of the East

Sitaron se agai jahan aur bhi hai
Abhi Ishq ke imtihan aur bhi hai …

***Tu Shaheen hai , pervaz hai kaam tera ***
Tere samney aasmaan aur bhi hai

Tu Shaheen hai , basera ker ,
Paharon ki chitano per

Allama Iqbal is a poet who inspired millions in Pakistan and worldwide. He dreamt for separate homeland for the muslims of the subcontinent before anyone else did. His idea of that of a state based on Sharia along the lines of Saudi Arabia.

Mods please delete this post- Iqbal never wrote a song praising Hindus and Ghandi with an Indian map in the background and then went on to demand for Pakistan.

Heres is a beautiful sher i found of Iqbal ..worth sharing ...about life

Kulzam-e-hasti say ubhra hai tu manind-e-hubab
Iss ziyaan khanay may tera imtehaan hai zindagi.

Kulzam= is two words, kul and zam, Kul means all. For example kul kitnay log thay, zam means water, hasti means existence or personality. Ubhra means to emerge, manind means “like or similar to” , hubab means bubble or water bubble. SO all in all it means “you have emerged from the water of existence or the water of hasti, like a bubble. If you have ever seen a water fall, then you’ll understand how iqbal R.a is comparing the existence of life to a water fall, in which we are like bubbles, and then second part means, that in this powerful and destroying water fall, your imtehaan is to keep that bubble afloat !
**
**Summary:
You have emerged from the oceanof existence like a bubble, and within that bubble you are in an imtehaan to keep yourself steadfast and safe from all the destruction of the “ziyaan khana”.

Who wrote it then?

Re: Allama Iqbal - A Tribute to the Poet of the East

Ghandi or Hindu poet Rabinder Singh Tagore I guess.

Saare Jahan Se Achchha (Urdu:سارے جہاں سے اچھا) is one of the enduring patriotic poems of the Urdu language. Written originally for children in the ghazal style of Urdu poetry by poet Muhammad Iqbal, the poem was published in the weekly journal Ittehad on 16 August 1904.[1]](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarana-e-Hind#cite_note-pritchett-0) Recited by Iqbal the following year at Government College, Lahore, now in Pakistan, it quickly became an anthem of opposition to the British rule in India.

Why has it always been associated with Iqbal if he didn't write it?

Re: Allama Iqbal - A Tribute to the Poet of the East

Historians must have made some mistake. Think about this- why would a hard-core Islamist poet would write, "Hindu hain hum, watan hai" (we are Hindus and so is the country)" and go on to propose a separate homeland for the muslims?
