Re: Eghbal e Lahori

**Iqbal also wrote poetry in Farsi...i remember reading one poem about the camel [ship of the desert] and i remember only a few lines:

***tez-tarak gaam-zan, manzil-e-maa door nest!*

Baja farmaya KKF. Tamam waqiyat ko madd e nazar rakhte hue, Taazeerat e Hind ki dafa ---- ke tahat yeh Adaalat mulzim ko ba izzat bari karti hai.

Iqbal’s poetic works are written primarily in Persian rather than Urdu. Among his 12,000 verses of poetry, about 7,000 verses are in Persian. In 1915, he published his first collection of poetry, the Asrar-e-Khudi (Secrets of the Self) in Persian. The poems emphasise the spirit and self from a religious, spiritual perspective. Many critics have called this Iqbal’s finest poetic work.

Another master piece of Allama Iqbal in Persian:

Re: Eghbal e Lahori

Iqbal was a

Philosopher / thinker
Persian poet
urdu poet

Allama Iqbal’s work in philosophy is on top. It is complete and comprehensive subject on which universities award Doctorate (Phd). Just because it is somewhat above avg common man’s understanding thus not much known in public.

http://www.paklinks.com/gs/philosophy-and-spirituality/175444-allama-iqbal-the-blessed-thinker.html

His Persian poetry was classic.

His urdu poetry was just avg; the last option for medium of communication with masses.
