tez-tarak gaam-zan, manzil-e-maa door nest!

Baja farmaya KKF. Tamam waqiyat ko madd e nazar rakhte hue, Taazeerat e Hind ki dafa ---- ke tahat yeh Adaalat mulzim ko ba izzat bari karti hai.

Iqbal's poetic works are written primarily in Persian rather than Urdu. Among his 12,000 verses of poetry, about 7,000 verses are in Persian. In 1915, he published his first collection of poetry, the Asrar-e-Khudi (Secrets of the Self) in Persian. The poems emphasise the spirit and self from a religious, spiritual perspective. Many critics have called this Iqbal's finest poetic work.
