Sir Muhammad Iqbal (Urdu: محمد اقبال ‎) (November 9, 1877 – April 21, 1938), widely known as Allama Iqbal (

علامہ اقبال), was a poet, philosopher, and politician, as well as an academic, barrister and scholar 1 2

in British India who is widely regarded as having inspired the Pakistan Movement. He is called the

"Spiritual father of Pakistan". 3 He is considered one of the most important figures in Urdu

literature, 4 with literary work in both the Urdu and Persian languages. 2 4
Iqbal is admired as a prominent poet by Pakistanis, Iranians, Indians, Bangladeshis, Sri Lankans and

other international scholars of literature. 5 6 7 Though Iqbal is best known as an eminent poet, he

is also a highly acclaimed "Muslim philosophical thinker of modern times". 2 7 His first poetry book,

Asrar-e-Khudi, appeared in the Persian language in 1915, and other books of poetry include Rumuz-i-

Bekhudi, Payam-i-Mashriq and Zabur-i-Ajam. Amongst these, his best known Urdu works are Bang-i-Dara,

Bal-i-Jibril, Zarb-i Kalim and a part of Armughan-e-Hijaz. 8 Along with his Urdu and Persian poetry,

his Urdu and English lectures and letters have been very influential in cultural, social, religious and

political disputes. 8
In 1922, he was knighted by King George V, 9 granting him the title "Sir". 10 While studying law and

philosophy in England, Iqbal became a member of the London branch of the All-India Muslim League. 7 8

Later, during the League's December 1930 session, he delivered his most famous presidential speech

known as the Allahabad Address in which he pushed for the creation of a Muslim state in Northwest

India. 7 8
In much of South Asia and the Urdu speaking world, Iqbal is regarded as the Shair-e-Mashriq (Urdu: شاعر

مشرق‎, "Poet of the East"). 11 12 13 He is also called Mufakkir-e-Pakistan (Urdu: مفکر پاکستان‎, "The

Thinker of Pakistan"), Musawar-e-Pakistan (Urdu: مصور پاکستان‎, "Artist of Pakistan") and Hakeem-ul-Ummat

(Urdu: حکیم الامت‎, "The Sage of the Ummah"). The Pakistan government officially named him a "national poet".

7 His birthday Yōm-e Welādat-e Muḥammad Iqbāl (Urdu: یوم ولادت محمد اقبال‎), or Iqbal Day, is a public holiday in

Pakistan. 14 In India he is also remembered as the author of the popular song
