Dr Iqbal 's Art !

Dr Sir Mohammad Iqbal, the bard of the East, strikes melodies upon melodies darting up and down like a butterfly, longing for dance around flowers of myriad hues and colors! His soul contains not in one language and one setting , so from Urdu to Persian to Arabic constructions going also into English excellence, he exposes his soulic turbulence to mankind thirsty for meaning and art! His words augmented by metaphor and allegory and his images terrifically sounding and resounding as Wordsworth’s songs in Reaper’s hill and Lucy’s “untrodden ways ” take us to the dreamland of musicality ! Read him seriously and be swayed by magical trance into the world of tantalizing beauty! 

Iqbal is rhyme and rhythm poured into passion and love and his characters dance in the paradise of unity like celestial beings wearing robes fitting their dancing role! Imagine Mansoor Hallaj mounting the scaffold arranged by brutal power and Nietzsche singing in praise of dreamy Superman to fit in the soul of the bard who searches him all around!Imagine the cloudy dance over the mountain accompanied by the tulip in the open wilderness and see how the bard’s soul seeks beauty in also candle and the moth or the firefly’s twinkle in night’s darkness ! Iqbal runs after Rumi and Goethe, and picks up whatever truth ,beauty and goodness is available worldwide to him to play his poetic role as of an Ambassador! His new temple in India is perhaps his dream as Cordoba in Spain to sing him the glory of love. Dashing restlessly like Gabriel's wing, his genius appears in The Message Of The East as also in Secrets of Self carousing among other orientals Nicholson and Arberry! He finds no place to rest like zephyr in poppy field or a lover in Paradise .
