Selected Poems of Iqbal

lqbal is a successor in a long line of Persian and Urdu poets of Iran and the Subcontinent, culminating in Ghalib. lqbal wrote his poetry in Urdu and Persian, using the finest phraseology and traditions of the two Indo-Iranian languages. lqbal was the poet of the 20th century, yet his poetry bridged and encompassed the past many centuries of man's endeavours in the realm of thought and intuition. In his poetry there is a wholesome fusion of the physical and the metaphysical, a mutually inclusive combination of the material and the moral. lqbal's poetry transcends time and space; it is difficult to draw a line between the earthly and the heavenly.
