Allama Iqbal, the great poet of east - علامہ اقبال

Courtesy of my Uncle who is a walking library of poetry.
Noted here are some really great verses of Allama Iqbal the great poet of east.

اقبال بڑا پتیشک ہے، من باتوں میں موہ لیتا ہے

گفتار کا غازی بن تو گیا، کردار کا غازی بن نہ سکا

مسجد تو بنا دی شب بھر میں، ایمان کی حرارت والوں نے

یہ من تو پرانا پاپی ہے، برسوں میں نمازی بن نہ سکا

Narration:-

Iqbal (referring to himself) is so natural, he captures hearts by his conversations

he has indeed become the conqueror of conversations, but isn't able to become the conquerer of character

People with the strong (religious) beliefs have constructed mosques over night
but this heart is a habitual sinner, and so isn't able to become a devotee in years

Coincidentally, I took this picture of Allama Iqbal's TOMB in 2010.

Its the white structure in front of BADSHAHI MASJID (Kingship Mosque)
