may be. But there are stages in Iqbal’s life. At one point, he was pro-Sufism and as per some researchers, he abandoned Sufism in his last years. Don’t know, at which stage this beautiful piece was written. The whole Ghazal is beautiful.

Yes, he was pro-sufism at some point, but he remained strong opponent of unity of the being consistently. He was young when he criticized sufi Hafiz for the same reason. Maybe that was the reason he left sufism.
