'allaamah ba’d meN apne Khayaalaat meN tabdeeli le aaye aur kuchh yuN kahaa:

Muslim haiN ham, vatan hai saaraa jahaaN hamaaraa

this is an excerpt from Wikipedia:

Iqbal’s transformation and Tarana-e-Milli

In 1910, Iqbal wrote another song for children, Tarana-e-Milli (Anthem of the Religious Community), which was composed in the same metre and rhyme scheme as Saare Jahan Se Achcha, but which renounced much of the sentiment of the earlier song.[SUP][2]](Sare Jahan se Accha - Wikipedia)[/SUP] The sixth stanza of Saare Jahan Se Achcha (1904), which is often quoted as proof of Iqbal’s secular outlook:
Maẕhab nahīṉ sikhātā āpas meṉ bair rakhnā
Hindī haiṉ ham, wat̤an hai Hindūstāṉ hamārā

or, Religion does not teach us to bear ill-will among ourselves
We are of Hind, our homeland is Hindoostan.

contrasted significantly with the first stanza of Tarana-e-Milli (1910) reads:[SUP][2]](Sare Jahan se Accha - Wikipedia)[/SUP] Cīn o-ʿArab hamārā, Hindūstāṉ hamārā
Muslim haiṉ ham, wat̤an hai sārā jahāṉ hamārā

or, Central Asia[SUP][3]](Sare Jahan se Accha - Wikipedia)[/SUP] and Arabia are ours, Hindoostan is ours
We are Muslims, the whole world is our homeland.[SUP][2]](Sare Jahan se Accha - Wikipedia)[/SUP]

Iqbal’s world view had now changed; it had become both global and Islamic. Instead of singing of India, “our homeland,” the new song proclaimed that “our homeland is the whole world.”[SUP][4]](Sare Jahan se Accha - Wikipedia)[/SUP] Two decades later, in his presidential address to the Muslim League annual conference in Allahabad in 1930, he was to propose a separate nation-state in the Muslim majority areas of the sub-continent, an idea that inspired the creation of Pakistan.[SUP][5]](Sare Jahan se Accha - Wikipedia)[/SUP]

I am sure he would have changed the wordings if he was alive after 1947

he did change to:

Muslim haiN ham, vatan hai saaraa jahaaN hamaaraa

but nothing to do with creation of Pakistan.

*Iqbal's world view had now changed; it had become both global and Islamic. Instead of singing of India, "our homeland," the new song proclaimed that "our homeland is the whole world." *
