IQBAL

-


IQBAL(9thNov 1877- 21stApril 1938) The name “Iqbal” is a Persian word which means “Luck ” and this legend has made it clear.
Going back to his background, his grandparents  were Brahmins from Kashmir, later converted to Islam. His family migrated to Punjab after a while.  
If you live in Pakistan you know very well that if you want your work to be renowned either “Parchi” works or you have to be a celebrity's child. Anyways, this legend didn't have famous parents, his father was a tailor (Sheikh Noor Mohammad) and his mother was just a regular but humble and kind  woman (Imam Bibi).
What made him renowned globally was his passion and the love he had for studying, reading and writing. This all is nothing but pure talent. He was influenced by many philosophers but the one who bore the deepest influence on his mind was Maulana Rumi.
 Iqbal used to focus on reminding his readers of the Islam and delivering the message of a pure, focus on Islam.

My personal favourite lines from his poetry “Bang-e-Dara” are;
