आता है याद मुझको गुजरा हुआ ज़माना वो बाग की बहारें वो सब का चहचहाना आजादियाँ कहाँ वो अब अपने घोंसले की अपनी खुशी से आना अपनी खुशी से जाना इकबाल युग निर्माता शायर थे। उनकी शायरी एक विचार के खास निज़ाम से रोशनी ग्रहण करती है। इक़बाल आदमी की महानता के अलमबरदार थे और वो किसी बख्शी हुई जन्नत की बजाय अपने खून-ए-जिगर से स्वयं अपनी जन्नत बनाने की प्रक्रिया को अधिक संभावित और अधिक जीवनदायिनी समझते थे। इसके लिए उसका उपाय तजवीज करते हुए उन्होंने कहा था, "पूरब के राष्ट्रों को ये महसूस कर लेना चाहिए कि ज़िन्दगी अपनी हवेली में किसी तरह का इन्किलाब नहीं पैदा कर सकती जब तक उसकी अंदरूनी गहराईयों में इन्किलाब न पैदा हो और कोई नई दुनिया एक बाहरी अस्तित्व नहीं हासिल कर सकती जब तक उसका वजूद इंसानों के ज़मीर में रूपायित न हो।"" इकबाल की शायरी मूल रूप से सक्रियता व कर्म और निरंतर संघर्ष को बयाँ करती है। यहाँ तक कि उनके यहाँ कभी-कभी ये संघर्ष उद्देश्य प्राप्ति के माध्यम की बजाय खुद मकसद बनती नज़र आती है। - इसी किताब से

This collection contains all the four books by Sir Allama Mohammad Iqbal.Sir Muhammad Iqbal's The Call of the Marching Bell (بانگِ درا, bang-e-dara), his first collection of Urdu poetry, was published in 1924. It was written in three distinct phases of his life. The poems he wrote up to 1905-the year he left for England-reflect patriotism and the imagery of nature, including the Urdu language patriotic "Saare Jahan se Accha", and "Tarana-e-Milli" ("The Song of the Community"). The second set of poems date from 1905 to 1908, when Iqbal studied in Europe, and dwell upon the nature of European society, which he emphasized had lost spiritual and religious values. This inspired Iqbal to write poems on the historical and cultural heritage of Islam and the Muslim community, with a global perspective. Iqbal urges the entire Muslim community, addressed as the Ummah, to define personal, social and political existence by the values and teachings of Islam.Iqbal's works were in Persian for most of his career, but after 1930 his works were mainly in Urdu. His works in this period were often specifically directed at the Muslim masses of India, with an even stronger emphasis on Islam and Muslim spiritual and political reawakening. Published in 1935, Bal-e-Jibril بالِ جبریل (Wings of Gabriel) is considered by many critics as his finest Urdu poetry and was inspired by his visit to Spain, where he visited the monuments and legacy of the kingdom of the Moors. It consists of ghazals, poems, quatrains and epigrams and carries a strong sense of religious passion.Zarb-i-Kalim ضربِ کلیم (or The Rod of Moses) is another philosophical poetry book of Allama Iqbal in Urdu, it was published in 1936, two years before his death. In which he described as his political manifesto. It was published with the subtitle "A Declaration of War Against the Present Times. Muhammad Iqbal argues that modern problems are due to the godlessness, materialism, and injustice of modern civilization, which feeds on the subjugation and exploitation of weak nations, especially the Indian Muslims.Iqbal's final work was Armughan-e-Hijaz ارمغانِ حجاز (The Gift of Hijaz), published posthumously in 1938. The first part contains quatrains in Persian, and the second part contains some poems and epigrams in Urdu. The Persian quatrains convey the impression that the poet is travelling through the Hijaz in his imagination. The profundity of ideas and intensity of passion are the salient features of these short poems

DIVAN OF IQBAL Translation & Introduction Paul Smith Muhammad Iqbal (1873-1938) was born in Sialkot, Punjab. He graduated from Government College, Lahore with a master's degree in philosophy. He taught there while he established his reputation as an Urdu poet. During this period his poetry expressed an ardent Indian nationalism, but a marked change came over his views when he was studying for his doctorate at Cambridge, visiting German universities and qualifying as a barrister. The philosophies of Nietzsche and Bergson influenced him and he became critical of Western civilization that he regarded as decadent. He turned to Islam and Sufism for inspiration and rejected nationalism as a disease of the West. These ideas found expression in his long poems written in Persian, presumably to gain his ideas an audience in the Moslem world outside India. Becoming convinced that Muslims were in danger from the Hindu majority if India should become independent, he gave his support to Jinnah as the leader of India's Muslims. In his final years he returned to Urdu as his medium with ghazals inspired by his on-and-off Sufism. Here is a large collection of his ruba'is, ghazals, nazms, qit'as, Masnavis & a qasida in English in the correct rhyme-structure and meaning. Introduction on his Life, Times & Poetry and Poetic Forms he wrote in. Large Format, 7" x 10" 251 pages.

Sir Muhammad Iqbal (1873-1938) was not only amongst the leading political figures of his time, but regarded by many as the spiritual father of Pakistan and a great champion of the reform movement of modern Islam. He was also a poet, in both Urdu and Persian. The recurrent theme of his poems is the infinite potentiality of man, as partner with God in shaping the destiny of the universe. As an ardent Muslim, Iqbal saw the realization of mankind’s future in a union of Islamic peoples, unfettered by the bonds of separate nationhood, fully liberated from the chains of imperial domination. The Javid-nama, commonly acknowledged as his greatest work, develops this theme within the frame-work of the ‘Ascension’ story. In imitation of the Prophet of Islam, the poet soars through the spheres, encountering on his heavenly journey many great figures of history with whom he converses. The resemblance to Dante’s Divine Comedy is obvious.

""The Secrets of the Self"" is a philosophical poem written by Muhammad Iqbal, a renowned philosopher and poet from South Asia. The book is a reflection on the nature of the self and its relationship with the divine. The poem is divided into two parts, each containing several sections. In the first part, Iqbal explores the nature of the self, its limitations, and its potential for growth and transformation. He argues that the self is not a fixed entity but rather a dynamic and evolving process that is shaped by both internal and external factors.In the second part of the poem, Iqbal delves into the relationship between the self and the divine. He argues that the self is not separate from the divine but rather a manifestation of it. He explores the idea of the self as a mirror reflecting the divine and the importance of spiritual practice in achieving a deeper understanding of this relationship.Throughout the poem, Iqbal draws on a variety of philosophical and mystical traditions, including Sufism, Vedanta, and Western philosophy, to explore the nature of the self and its relationship with the divine. The language of the poem is rich and evocative, with vivid imagery and powerful metaphors that bring the ideas to life. Overall, ""The Secrets of the Self"" is a profound and thought-provoking work that offers insights into the nature of the self, the divine, and the relationship between the two.This is a new release of the original 1944 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Armaghan-i-Hijaz (Gift from Hijaz; published in Persian, 1938) was a philosophical poetry book of Allama Iqbal, the great poet-philosopher of Islam. This work, published a few months after the poet's death, is a fairly small volume containing verses in both Persian and Urdu. It is incomplete, although this is not readily apparent to the reader; for Iqbal left some gaps in the book which he intended to fill when he made the pilgrimage to Mecca. The title means "Gift from the Hijaz." He had long wished to undertake the journey to the Arabian Peninsula to perform the Hajj and to visit the tomb of Muhammad, but was prevented from doing so by continuous illness during the last years of his life. Iqbal began composing the Armaghan as a gift to take to the Hijaz, intending to publish it on his return to India as a "Gift from the Hijaz" to his countrymen.
