ALLAMA MUHAMMAD IQBAL
Poets and writers are like oxygen to any nation who, through their
words, not only keep their nation inclined towards life, but also point out the
weaknesses within them and suggest beautifying it. We’re a proud nation in
which famous poet like Allama Muhammad Iqbal was born. Through his words of
poetry, he influenced not only the Muslims of subcontinent but also all the
people of Islam all over the world. Through his passionate poetry, he spread
the message of respecting and recognizing one’s self-esteem to seek success in life.
He wrote poems in Persian and Urdu language. Allama Iqbal encouraged Muslims to
raise their voice for their identity and freedom. That is why Allama Iqbal is
also called the poet of the East. Allama
Muhammad Iqbal is a national poet of Pakistan. In Iran his work is taught
and he is known as “Iqbal of Lahore”.
Allama Iqbal was
not only a well-known poet but also an expert jurist, a shrewd politician, thoughtful
educator and a prolific writer .
Allama Iqbal's ideas are prominent not only in his poetry but also
in his political life. Allama Iqbal's thought breathed new life into the
liberation movement of Muslims.
Allama Iqbal's philosophy became a beacon for
the Muslims of the subcontinent. His dream of a separate homeland for Muslims
lightened zeal in Muslims. The idea of separate homeland given by Allama Iqbal
emerged in such a way that no power could build a bridge in front of which and it
was embarrassed in the form of Pakistan.
Bringing together a fragmented, disillusioned nation and the
people under years of slavery through his words, inspiring a new hope and
setting a new destination for them are achievement that earned Allama Iqbal the
status of “Pakistan's National Poet”.
When Allama Iqbal was born on November 9, 1877 in the house of
Sufi Muhammad in Sialkot, the British were ruling in the subcontinent. He got
his early education in Sialkot then came to Lahore. He did B A and MA from
Government College, Lahore. It was the
time when Allama Iqbal carefully observed the weaknesses and flaws of his
nation .He wrote “Prindey ki Faryad” and Nal e Hind” in those days.
Shortly afterwards,
Allama Iqbal received a degree in law from Cambridge University, England and
did a PhD in philosophy from Germany. In those days, Allama Iqbal had the
opportunity to compare his nation with powerful nations. Instead of putting it
on, he set out to get his people out of the whirlpool of despair and for that
he used his words as a weapon. Certainly the pen has more power than any sword
or gun. It went down like a sore in the hearts.
"Israr-e-Khudaai",
"Ramuz-e-Bekhodi"
“Bal
e Jibrail” and
"Bang-e-Dara"
The brilliant creations of
Allama Iqbal which still teach a lesson of reform and development of any
society even after almost a century has passed.
On the one hand,
Allama Iqbal advises the youth to put their self respect at the forefront and
on the other hand, he advises them to turn around for their rights.
Sometimes Allama
Iqbal talks to the youth through his imaginary bird Shaheen, sometimes he
explains to the children by giving simple examples of
And “pehar aur
gulehri”. "aik gaye aur bakrit".
. Here he calls women as the color of the picture universe
The famous poems
of Allama Iqbal are “Shikwa” and the “Jawab e shikwa” present such an example
of rhetoric from Allah which is still the voice of every Muslim's heart
The color of
Sufism is prominent in the thoughts and words of but his style is simple and
common sense. In the poetry of Allama Iqbal, the color of the interpretations
of the Qur'an is reflected everywhere.
Allama Iqbal's poetry has nominated and influenced every member of
the society in a very comprehensive manner. Allama Iqbal left us on 21st
April 1938 but is still alive in our hearts through his timeless poetry. Even
today the people of Pakistan visit the mausoleum of Allama Iqbal at the
Bahasahi Mosque in Lahore and the troops of Pakistan Army pay homage to this
great national poet.
Mr. President, the question is whether we have been able to
understand the message of Allama Iqbal even after such a long time? Do our
young Iqbal birds like Shaheen find their nest in the rocks of the mountains?
Do we still find our destination in the palaces of America and Europe instead
of prostrations? Mr. President, it is a pity that we still read Iqbal's poetry
in books, but we are ignorant and unaware of his true spirit. Thank you
