Comments about Allama Muhammad Iqbal
Spain
Spain! You are the trustee of the Muslim
blood:
In my eyes you are sanctified like the Harem.
Prints of prostration lie hidden in your dust,
Silent calls to prayers in your morning air.
In your hills and vales were the tents of those,
The tips of whose lances were bright like the
stars.
Is more henna needed by your pretties?

the poet of reality and the proud of muslims
The great power behind the Muslim national movement in the subcontinent for an independent state... His works are not only conceiving reality, immitating, convincing but also a great honour to the Urdu and Farsi litera.
