“A Visionary’s Legacy”
Description of my emotions in form of a poem as tribute to Allama Muhammad Iqbal a humble effort
Written by faryal safeer
In realms of thought, where shadows roam,
A beacon shines, a guiding light to home,
Allama Iqbal, a name etched in time,
A poet, philosopher, heart and mind.
Your words, a symphony of hope and fire,
Inspiring generations to aspire,
To self-awareness, unity, and love,
A harmonious world, sent from above.
With “Khudi” and “Ishq,” you led the way,
Through labyrinths of existence, night and day,
Your vision for Pakistan, a dream fulfilled,
A nation’s gratitude, forever instilled.
In “Asrar-e-Khudi,” secrets unfold,
Of human potential, young and old,
“Rumuz-e-Bekhudi” whispers truths divine,
Of selflessness, heart and soul entwine.
Your call to action, echoes still,
Awaken, unite, and stand for justice’s will,
Palestine’s plight, a wound that won’t heal,
Your voice, a rallying cry, forever real.
Through trials and tribulations, you stood tall,
A shining star, amidst darkness’s fall,
Your legacy lives on, a flame that burns,
Guiding humanity, through life’s twists and turns.
Oh, Allama Iqbal, your spirit remains,
A source of strength, through joy and pains,
In our hearts, your memory stays,
A tribute to your life, in endless praise.
May your vision inspire, and your words ignite,
A brighter future, where love shines bright,
And though you’re gone, your impact stays,
A timeless legacy, in endless ways.
Rest in peace, dear visionary soul,
Your impact on humanity, forever whole.
