Myself, and many critics do not agree. Iqbal was not a very versetile poet of urdu, but he was good poet in farsi ( i heard). In urdu he lacked imagination, though there was message and very important message. so he was an important poet. but at the same time he was mostly monotonic. Lack of Iste’ara and Tashbeehat and at time using same tashbeeh many times made him somewhat redundant.

I dunno if you have reda Iqbal or just heard few of his asha’ar by local moulana, like hazarooN saal nargis apni beynoori per roti hai etc

But you can reda this one for Tashbeehaat.
