Message From The East
''Payam-i-Mashriq'' ( fa, ; or ''Message from the East''; published in Persian, 1923) is a philosophical poetry book of Allama Iqbal, the great poet-philosopher of British India. Introduction Payam-i-Mashriq is an answer to '' West-östlicher Diwan'' by Goethe, the famous German poet. History Immediately after the end of World War I, Iqbal started writing the Payam and it can be presumed that he would have thought in this respect to achieve a goal of bringing the East and the West closer to each other. It is evident from some of Iqbal's Urdu letters that he first disclosed about his book-in-preparation (i.e. Payam) to Syed Sulaiman Nadwi, a distinguished scholar and his esteemed friend, in 1919: ''"At present, I am writing a reply to the Divan of a Western poet (i.e. Goethe) and about half of it has been completed. Some poems will be in Persian and some in Urdu..... Two great German poets, Goethe and Uhland, were barristers. After practising for a short time Goethe was appoi ...

Poetry By Muhammad Iqbal
Poetry (derived from the Greek ''poiesis'', "making"), also called verse, is a form of literature that uses aesthetic and often rhythmic qualities of language − such as phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre − to evoke meanings in addition to, or in place of, a prosaic ostensible meaning. A poem is a literary composition, written by a poet, using this principle. Poetry has a long and varied history, evolving differentially across the globe. It dates back at least to prehistoric times with hunting poetry in Africa and to panegyric and elegiac court poetry of the empires of the Nile, Niger, and Volta River valleys. Some of the earliest written poetry in Africa occurs among the Pyramid Texts written during the 25th century BCE. The earliest surviving Western Asian epic poetry, the ''Epic of Gilgamesh'', was written in Sumerian. Early poems in the Eurasian continent evolved from folk songs such as the Chinese ''Shijing'', as well as religious hymns (the Sanskrit ''R ...

Armaghan-i-Hijaz
''Armaghan-i-Hijaz'' ( ur, ارمغان حجاز; or ''The Gift of the Hijaz''; originally published in Persian, 1938) was a philosophical poetry book of Allama Iqbal, the great poet-philosopher of Islam. Introduction 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. In this, his last work, we find the poet more withdrawn and i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rumuz-e-Bekhudi
''Rumuz-e-Bekhudi'' ( fa, ; or ''The Secrets of Selflessness''; published in Persian, 1918) was the second philosophical poetry book of Allama Iqbal, a poet-philosopher of the Indian subcontinent. This is a sequel to his first book ''Asrar-e-Khudi'' (''The Secrets of the Self''). Introduction Also in Persian and published in 1918, this group of poems has as its main themes the ideal community, Islamic ethical and social principles, and the relationship between the individual and society. Although he is true throughout to Islam, Iqbal recognizes also the positive analogous aspects of other religions. The ''Rumuz-i-Bekhudi'' (''Secrets of Selflessness'') complements the emphasis on the self in the ''Asrar-i-Khudi'' and the two collections are often put in the same volume under the title ''Asrar-o-Rumuz''. A.J. Arberry's famous English translation of the ''Rumuz'' first appeared in 1953. ''Rumuz-i-Bekhudi'' is addressed to the world's Muslims. Iqbal sees the individual and his comm ...

''Asrar-i-Khudi'' ( fa, , ''The Secrets of the Self''; published in Persian, 1915) was the first philosophical poetry book of Allama Iqbal, the great poet-philosopher of British India. This book deals mainly with the individual, while his second book ''Rumuz-i-Bekhudi'' discusses the interaction between the individual and society. Introduction Published in 1915, ''Asrar-i-Khudi'' (Secrets of the Self) was the first poetry book of Iqbal. Considered by many to be Iqbal's best book of poetry, it is concerned with the philosophy of religion. In a letter to the poet Ghulam Qadir Girami (d.1345/1927), Iqbal wrote that "the ideas behind the verses had never been expressed before either in the East or in the West." R.A. Nicholson, who translated the Asrar as'' The Secrets of the Self'', says it caught the attention of young Muslims as soon as it was printed. Iqbal wrote this in Persian because he felt the language was well-suited for the expression of these ideas. Overview In 1915 ...
