Its the quality of poetry that makes him the best of all, his mastery over the words is unmatched by any other.

Using difficult word and phrases does not make poetry or prose beautiful. Just like in dance if artist start doing areobics or difficult manuevor then it might impress the gullible audience but people who are aware of different genre of dances would not appreciate it much.

If you claim otherwise then put up poetry of Ibn-e-Insha that matches Iqbal's tashbeehat. And as for topics Iqbal's poetry is very diversed, love, religion, society, individual excellence, he touches upon everything.

Since you have spitted categorically on notewordy poets of urdu language, quoting them more here, for you, would be like presenting common respectable pakistani citizen infront of Pakistani police. They simply wont show any respect.
