Allama Iqbal Poetry And Urdu Language

Allama Muhammad Iqbal is the spiritual founder of Pakistan as he was the one who dreamt about a separate state for Indian Muslims. He considered a need of giving an awakening call to those Muslims from deep hopelessness and he made them stand on their feet. He succeeded this crucial and tough mission by choosing poetry as a medium. Through his exceptional poetry in Urdu and Persian, he delivered the messages like God's devotion, unity, determination, courage and self-development in such an impressive way that it directly seeped into the hearts of Muslims. Like other poets of his time he was not a ‘Mushira' poet as he did not target the elite class and other socially esteemed community rather he is the poet of ‘Jalsa’ as targeting the common folks. His notable works of Urdu are Bang-e-Dara (1924), Baal-e-Jibrael (1935), Zarb-e-Kaleem (1936) and Armagh-e-Hijaz (1938). In Persian his Israr-e-Khudi (1915), Rmuzu-e- Bekhudi(1917)and Payaam-e-Mashrik (1923) got huge success. He used Ghazal and Rubai as the traditional form of poetry in his works.Allama Iqbal is titled “The Poet of East” as he wrote for the people of  Subcontinent but his poetry and its effectiveness cannot be limited to a specific reign or a particular span of time because the issues of mankind are universal and his poetry possesses a universal approach to those issues.
