1908 - 1923

Poems written between 1908 and 1923, in which

Iqbal reminds Muslims of their past greatness and calls for the

brotherhood and unity that transcend territorial boundaries. He

urges the ummah to live a life of servitude to God, of sacrifice

and of action so that they may attain once more the high

civilisation that was once theirs. Yam Awr Syair (The Poet and

the Cradle), Shikwa (Complaint to God), Jawab-i-Shikwa

(Response to a Complain), Kiezr-i-Rah (Guidance) and Tulu'i

Islam (Light of Islam) are considered among the greatest

Islamic poems. Love and the Self reverberate as important

themes throughout this section.
